So, I know I have touched on this area before, this will wrap up the first try at this. I really want to get one of the Porsche manifolds and reverse it like I have seen on the web, but this should get us going.
This is a top down view of finished throttle body relocator. The red wheel you see on the TB is from the Porsche TB. I originally got it from Lindsey Racing. The shaft of the Audi TB is slightly larger so I reamed the hole slightly, removed the Audi bits and installed the Porsche unit. A small hole in the cable wheel allows you to install a bolt to keep the wheel from spinning on the TB shaft in an undesired manner.
Here you can see the bolt I was talking about. The small gold wheel used to change the cable direction is actually for a shower door. It has sealed bearings and seems to be a good fit for the application. Lots of goosing the throttle has yet to make the cable come off the wheel, but I'm still concerned that this may need some attention.
This is showing the room we now have between the brake master cylinder and the intake. I used the stock 944 cable and didn't modify anything else in the system to get it to function again.
