Complete 45 mm DCOE throttle body kit for Seat / VW 2.0l-8V engines — TA Technix

One throttle body per cylinder delivers throttle response that no shared manifold can match: the engine reacts to every millimetre of pedal travel, without the volume of air that has to be set in motion inside a plenum. This is the choice for classic performance builds and track cars.

The trade-off is tuning. Idle is more delicate, the bodies need to be synchronised again, and the jets must be adapted to the engine, altitude and exhaust. A properly tuned setup is spectacular; a poorly tuned one consumes fuel and stalls.
