Thanks mate. I guess it's not showing any signs of leaking?

A8 throttle body is slightly larger, iirc ? If so, on a standard engine, you would be better off with standard H22A/A2/A5 throttle body.

Yeah the a8 (inc Type-S / S-SPEC) is 62mm at its narrowest Vs 60mm for everything else. 5th gen TB's have the MAP sensor on the top but you don't have to use it when you have a 4th gen, just use the existing MAP sensor on the firewall.

would swapping it over be an improvement then going from 60mm to 62mm? or is this going to make my car run bad since my ecu is used to the 60mm.would I be able swap it over without any sensor issues? I am guessing there will be a slight difference on where the sensors will be positioned
