AAN throttle body

[K7ERG]

Has anyone removed the wedge in the inlet manifold to improve flow?

would be interesting to know a bit more about this, did not know there was one there. got any pictures of where abouts it came from? have you tried running it since removing it?

034efi offers some sort of throttle body refinement service for high HP cars. Personally I don't think that this little thingy is able to hurt the flow a lot...

I have found this wedge once before on a Vauxhall engine C20 XE. There is a guide somewhere that tells you how to remove etc. The same engine but turbo'd C20 LET doesnt have this wedge fitted to the throttle body. Just a interesting find when cleaning the inlet manifold. I have removed it anyway.

Every bit helps in flow into engine.

AFAIK its there to help smooth out the airflow on part throttle, so it may do more harm than good not having it fitted.

UR Throttle body is a flat butterfly with no wedge piece attached... yet the TB off the KG 200turbo engine i just took off (essentially same as the MB 10v) has this wedge...

you would have to get a new butterfly plate as there will be two fitment holes left in your current one. Its essentially a 2-3mm thick circular plate with two hole in it.

Do you think there would be much of a increase by putting the 034 throttle body on a tuned car? is it worth that much money for a 5mm bigger butterfly?

IMO it's usefull when you have big hoses all way round, then TB is really the bottleneck.
