I'm posting this response to the list, as I seem to get asked this
fairly often.

I'm still just as happy with my A4Q as I was the day after I
installed the throttle body.  The TB made a very slight difference,
so trying to judge that difference 4 or 5 months after the mod
isn't really possible.

The best I can do is to say that if I had to do it over again,
I most likely would.  Keep in mind, though, that the effect of
the mod is very subtle, and doesn't claim to actually increase
hp.  On the other hand, there are NO negatives that come with the
modification (except for the fact that you're 300 bucks poorer).
