It's true you don't have to do it but I fitted mine along with a matching turbo outlet pipe. Throttle response is now much smoother. Car also boosts earlier. Psi tuning also sell both bits.

Alex has an upgrade TB on his.

I planned on doing it but when my oem TB died prematurely I was forced to pubs std one on to keep her on the road

06E133062G

Apparently a little trimming of the intake plastic fins is required for it to fit correctly.

The one from Alex is a 70mm modified S4 TB. Priced at 475 which includes the spacer plate that allows fitment of a WMI nozzle.

It's the one I was planning on fitting but my oem one packed in and I needed the car on the road and didn't have the spare cash for the upgrade  :sad1:
