I think the throttle plate in question is regarding the metering plate 
in the fuel distributor, not the throttle body plate (which I think is 
what you are referring to).

It seems to me that the metering plate would be let down a bit 
when the throttle is closed, reducing the flow of fuel to the motor. 

Otherwise, an overly rich condition would occur since the air 
recycling through the turbo would not be going into the motor, but 
the plate would still act as if it was.

I've wondered the same thing as Benjamin.  I could be wrong about 
the question tho'.  Seems to me that forcing the throttle plate 
"down" describes the metering plate, since it's horizontal I think.

Best regards,
