The only G40 engine bay I seen running emerald is using a GT throttle body, with various bits blanked off.
The same set up could be applied to my car, although being an eaton engine I would need to install a dump-valve. Not a major task and I think I got one in the garage, but would rather not have to.
Second issue is that I have the larger G40 throttle body which would be a shame to waste. Saying that I hard GT TBs actually have a larger area than a stock G40 one. Could anybody tell me which of the 3 TBs would best to use. Am willing to sacrifice some performance if it makes my life easier.
This thread (http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=93848&pid=898971&st=0entry898971) on club polo mentioned the NZ throttle body could be made to work on a G40 but am I right in thinking Emerald will only need a TPS not a idle or full throttle switch.
So does anybody know how to add a throttle position sensor to a G40 throttle body or should I just begin to modify a GT throttle body and elbow and use that
Chose to reply to this thread rather than edit just because its easier but its also a reply, even if its my own <_<
Quote from: Steve PSD on another forumThe inlet is a bit of a hybrid. Three sides of the plenum and the TB flange are 20Vt, the base plate I fabricated and the runners are from a Polo GT inlet manifold

Although its very nice, its a little out of my league in terms of fabrication.
Use a GT throttle body & dump valve.
I have an Audi 8v throttle body with the TPS going spare. The TB itself looks just like a large GT one.
