Re: Airbox Modification

[siegfried <sdoerrer@ix.netcom.com>]

O.K., the general consensus is that airbox mods are not worth the time 
or expense and may even hurt the top end performance.

What about throttle body modifications?  Someone posted a claim that it 
improved air flow by 6%.  How does this translate into performance gain?

What exactly is the "throttle body?" I am presuming it is fuel injection 
equivalent to the intake manifold?  Are the audis really that short of 
breath?

I have a 2.8V6 ('94 90csq) that I wouldn't mind spending up to $400 for 
to get some extra kick (especially in the low end).  Been considering 
the Schaumberg "throttle body" modification offer.  Any experience on 
the list?
