I've been looking arround a little bit for a KH round throttle body for my =
5000TQ EFI project with no luck, but I did see this one  (http://cgi.ebay.c=
om/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3D2411075043&category=3D33558)=
 on ebay. Will it work on my stock MC manifold, and should it clear the fue=
l rail? If not does anybody (especially in South Florida) have any leads on=
 a round KH style one?

I'm just about done with my fuel rail (have to add 1 more fitting for a reg=
ulator then its done) and its the same story as normal, Michelin man hose i=
s permanently installed once the manifold is bolted on, unless I take the w=
hole throttle body off, but I think I only need a few milimeters to get it =
to clear enough so I can take it off at least. Tomorrow I'm going to try an=
d find some room somehow, maybe tap a depression into the rail at that poin=
t where its tight, or maybe shave a few mil off the michelin man, maybe bot=
h=2E I used Porsche OEM equipment for everything except the rail itself (eg=
. injector cups, regulators, pressure test fitting) cut from some Porsche 9=
44 rails I had laying arround the shop. Kinda ironic, an Audi made part des=
igned for a largely Audi Porsche going on an Audi.
