book about tune of Bosch Jetronic

[dooley]

Look in the performance section in the back of that book-
I think it specifies a big bore throttle body as a great power booster, even
says an enthusiast installed one and broke all his bell housing bolts due to
power increase.
Funny reading those books, I guess they were written in late 80's.  Another
popular VW performance book discusses the problems using turbos due to their
peaky adiabatic efficiency under a certain curve..

Makes me laugh every time I read that crap..

I've got a copy right next to the desk. It should have a picture of a  
red mk2 golf on the front. Pretty decent reference. The theory of  
operation sections aren't quite as good as available elsewhere such as  
the original manuals printed by Bosch but overall not a bad choice. Its  
best feature or downfall depending on you point of view is that it  
covers all applications of Bosch fuel injection, not just those systems  
in Audis. It's good in that it gives you the needed numbers if you  
should fancy fixing the odd Volvo, Mercedes, or Peugot but it won't  
substitute for the Audi specific Bentley manual. The combination of the  
two together would give you all you need: one for the theory, one for  
the specific tests.
