Ported & Polished Throttlebody for 3.0T

[S-Fore]

For Sale is a Ported & Polished Continental Throttle Body for a 3.0T done by Blownone. I bought it from a member here thinking that since I had a Conti on my car it should work fine, and, while it works, it threw codes in my car. My car has a newer Conti part number TB, and had trouble stabilizing the idle with this one.

This will work on cars with the matching part number which is:
Audi P/N 06E 133 062 G (the newer throttle body has the same part number but ends with an "H"; P/N 06E 133 062 H)

I have used it while Blownone did my OEM TB. While is didn't work perfect, it was certainly drivable and you can feel a subtle difference on the highway, IMO.

All packaged up and ready to travel... Nice little increase.

What do you mean it didn't work perfect? Was it jerky or hesitating because of the increased airflow, or something else entirely?

[S-Fore]

I have a '15 SQ5 and my OEM TB is a newer part number, even though they are both Continental. I drove the car for a week with it and it had an irregular idle. Again, not having to do with the porting, but there must be a difference in the control module in the TB. Driving, it was absolutely fine. I used it while Will ported my OEM from my car. I plugged my OEM back in and it works perfect.

Added new pics, with pic of p/n and build date. Worthy upgrade if your oem p/n matches.

just to be clear, the PN is on the firewall side right? I'm going to go look at mine during noonhour.

Yes it is, you should be able to pretty easily snap a picture of it.

Also, directly under the inlet for the intake is where it says Continental or Siemens.

Yours should be a Continental 06E133062G or H. My '13 had the G version, yjypm's '14 had an H.

Since you mentioned me, here is something weird.
My TB was built in February 2014 and is a Continental H.
I bought a ported and polished TB from another member here and it was built in Sep 2015, also Continental H.

Here is the problem:
Both my stock TB and the P&P TB I bought from another member are 06E133062H, however After I installed the P&P TB I still get a CEL code and idling problems.

Did you ever do a throttle adaptation with Vag-Com? If no, that could be a source/fix for your problem.

I did clear all DTCs. Didn't think of trying TBA. I'll try in 3 hrs when I go for lunch.

On that note,

I had to do a TB adaption when I went from my OE Continental -> Siemens

Once I got the P&P Conti back from Will I didn't have to do an adaption.

When I put the Non-ported Siemens back in for some logging I also didn't need an adaption.

The Siemens is still in my car but I now have a bit of a rough idle. I imagine adaption will correct it but I haven't had a chance to do it yet.

------------------------------------

I got a CEL when I swapped the TB out shortly after turning the car off. (Conti to Siemens)

The second and third time I swapped it the car was hot af so I let it cool down first -> No CEL. (Siemens to Conti, Conti to Siemens)

Based off that it might we wise to either pop the hood and wait a few minutes or disconnect the battery when swapping the TB.

OR just clear the code and adapt it afterwards.

Thanks for clarifying.
I can't wait to get back in my car and try an adaptation.

Update: just did TBA but still there is a code P1545.

Well, that sucks.

I'm still on the fence about trying my hand at this. Seems a bit hit and miss. I understand from a flow perspective how it helps, but if it gets goofy with the electronics then that's a whole other conversation.

I really don't want to screw the op up by saying bad things about swapping TBs, but this TB I bought and installed is kinda screwing me up.
Just moments ago, after I did the adaptation thru VCDS I turned on the engine the car became underivable and bogged like crazy. The sound of the engine (exhaust) was not normal at all. I got scared and turned off the engine. I cleared DTCs again, and turned on the engine, the car seems to perform exactly like before I did the adaptation.
Didn't have much time to drive the car but the behaviors of the engine really scared me. I'll have to drive home tonight and I'll report back if anything goes wrong.
I sent my stock TB to Will this morning and if anything, I'm not able to drive the car until Saturday or even next Monday, which would be a disaster.

If you want to get a ported and polished TB, buy this and send your stock TB to Will fast. Live with it for several days regardless of any minor issues until your stock TB is back. Then sell this.
Don't try to adapt the new throttle body with vagcom, don't be like me.

I ran a Siemens TB on my car for ~2 weeks without any issues.

Make sure the plug is in, clear codes, do the adaption.

If you are still throwing codes, leave the intake off, turn the car on and make sure the TB is actually moving.

I haven't done any real logging on the ported TB yet due to weather and a flat tire but my butt dyno definitely approves. Especially at higher RPMs it even changed the pitch of the SC.

Here is the test procedure if it helps:

Start diagnosis
-- Connect the scan tool.
-- Switch ignition on.
-- Using the scan tool, check the throttle valve position (absolute) at idle stop: Specified Value: 3% to 25%
-- Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to Wide Open Throttle (WOT) stop while observing the percentage display. The percentage display must increase uniformly.
-- Using the scan tool, check the throttle valve position (absolute) at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) stop: Specified Value: 84% to 97%
-- End diagnosis and switch ignition off.

My problem is that my TB ran pretty normal except for some idling issues before I did the adaptation so I assume everything is plugged in and the TB is actually moving.
After the adaptation the car became undriveable. After clearing the codes it seemed it returned to normal except for some idling issues but I haven't driven it much so I can't conclude.
Right now I'm just scared to drive this car. I am so worrying if the car will breakdown on my way home tonight.

I updated my previous post with how to test the TB.

Shortly after doing the adaption I would expect the car to do a bit of wonky stuff as it adapts to the TB.

I'll test it later when I get to my car.

I did expect the car to do some strange stuffs but the crazing vibrations, all kinds of codes, esc & diff & trans & tmps malfunctions really scared the hell out of me. I don't think the car was supposed to behave like that.

Mine did that after I installed the AWE Coldfront kit...

Not sure what the deal was but it wen't ape-shit momentarily.

Cleared the codes, rescanned everything and haven't had any issues since.

[yjypm]

I cleared codes, turned on the engine, turned off the engine and rescanned, but still having P0068 and P2101

Are you using a CW? If so, remove it as that might be causing the P0068. (My car through this code when the CW was set to high)

P2101 is from the TB...

Turn off the car, remove the intake hose. Disconnect the connector on the bottom of the TB.

I would try actuating the TB by hand just to make sure it works.

Reconnect the connector on the bottom. (Should click into place)

Turn on the car and confirm the flap on the TB has moved.

Clear all codes. (You may have to go into the module and clear them individually if they stick around)

Once they are cleared do the test I posted above and record the min and max %.

[yjypm]

Thanks a lot! I'll try.
But I'm not using a CW. P0068 wasn't there until I ran with the new TB for a while. P2101 is a new code that occurred after I did the adaptation.

You may need to cycle the ignition a few times to adapt the TB.

Here is VCDS's video on it:

This video definitely helps! I wish I had this video when I was doing the adaptation.
I read the tutorial on their website but quit the test w/out waiting for it to show "finished correctly". However i waited for like 2 minutes instead of 2 seconds in the video. There might be something wrong...

i just replaced my tb (simens). it took 3 times of cycling the ignition with trying adaptations each time before it did it correctly. I still have a perfectly good siemens tb with 40k miles (it was not the cause of a high idle issue I was having). I will check if I can return the new one. Otherwise if you are still having issues let me know.

Thanks for posting the info/video for everyone Geoff! If you could toss that vid in my thread whenever you get a chance, that would be great brotha!😎

[whiped]

I should hopefully have some graphs for you guys shortly.

Was planning on doing a Stage 1 and Stage 2 OE vs Ported.

But, I did stage 1 and all it did was bypass the extra boost because I didn't have my CW in

The car is stage 2 now so no going back and correcting that.

Working on getting my car running correctly now, then I will swap back on the non-ported TB and do some logging.

[SwankP3RF3ct10n]

Some of you-all's problems is due to the fact that the porting/polishing process is not machine controlled and it's also hitting the seat point of where the butterfly stops. Messing with the clearance values in those areas WILL change the amount of air that goes past it during idle times and will fuck up your idle, plain and simple. Whomever is doing this work is making small mistakes in the process and this will mess with the results, it's just simple fact. Not knocking their want to make this work, but it is what it is. If the butterfly and the seat of it within the throttle body doesn't get hit or messed with, then idle will be just fine, but messing with those two items will return unknown results each and every time, especially since the work is being done by hand and WILL NOT be exactly the same for all TB's done. You basically have two options... get a bigger TB and adapter and recalibrate the ECU overall or use the stock TB and just port/taper it back without touching the idle resting area of the TB itself or the butterfly itself and you'll be fine. Take your pick.

[S-Fore]

There is no seat point on the interior of the TB, that I noticed as I looked for it. I would say that the set point is controlled by whatever lies beneath the plastic cover of what seems to be the 'control module' for the TB. I've had zero issues with the TB that was P&P for my car. Only when using the older part number TB, the idle issue arose...

You don't understand what I'm talking about. There is a seat point on all TBs. It's not a thing that stops the butterfly or anything like that. What I mean by seat point is the amount of clearance and block-off the TB plate creates against the walls of the TB cylinder. That amount MUST remain the same or you will have problems. The manual porting and polishing shown in some pics has crossed this point and all the way up to the butterfly spindle even. Any slight removal of material in these areas as well as material removed from the plat itself will cause idle issues since flow past the seat/block-off has now changed. That's why it's imperative that you don't try and touch these areas if at all possible. You have to let the TB "think" it's exactly the same as before while also improving it's flow at the beginning of the TB and end. You won't gain much from TB porting this way because it's not per say a larger TB, but the gains will be from flow smoothing and slight taper improvement. Anything more than that to the TB and you will run into some issues. Anyone with a traditional TB that had an adjustment screw on it for level of idle air bypass for the plate will know what I'm talking about. Touching that adjustment screw even the slightest introduced a level of idle irregularity that was hard for some ECUs to regulate back down or up, depending on which way you were adjusting. It's basically the ECU fighting with the air going past the plate at full close trying to regulate and steady the idle.

[S-Fore]

Well, you've clarified your comment a bit here, and I get that. However, to your point, when Blownone ported the TB that came on my car, which is identical to the one that I am selling in terms of material that he took off, I have zero issues.
