wish i had some more pics of the work i did on that golf. sadly this all happened pre-internet access/forum involvement, so never really bothered taking pics.
was one of the first things i ever bought off ebay for £104. was a total shed. from a bent driveshaft to a new clutch, new back panel welded in, heater matrix, fitted rainbow interior, rebuilt the sunroof with a new rear drip tray and seals....... jamex springs and shocker kit. green stuff pads.
sorry im getting off topic!!
yeah the kv throttle body is much bigger.
i couldnt really tell you want difference it made on its own as i fitted it at the same time as the cam! doh. was much more grunty at the top end.
also my mate had an mk5 escort gti 130. was never able to keep up with him on the road..... after the cam and stuff i was able to keep right under his bumper!
from memory i had to mix/modify/swap some little brackets for the throttle cable. i swapped the tps too, but i cant remember if this was cus it was different of cus the kv one came without a tps.
removed the inlet to bore it out, took about half an hour ish to die grind it out.
if you put a kv body next to a gti one the difference is huge.
