Great replacement part. A thing of beauty. Installation (with cruise control) was fairly straight forward. Incredible driving response, smooth and a much better driving experience. Highly recommend!

Old Greyg was running quite well but had some hesitation off the line and slight surging when in neutral. Nothing that kept me from driving it but since Santa got me this new throttle body...

My starter died and that generally requires removing the throttle body to install so my installation procrastination finally paid off! I changed out the starter and the throttle body in the driveway in about three hours. Everything was pretty straight forward. The end result was instantly noticeable with a rock steady idle at 900rpms when in neutral and in drive. The an does not hesitate at all off the line now and I assume my mpgs will also improve.

Don't hesitate (like your van at a green light)... replace this part and enjoy the ride.

So easy to install, two screws, quick connection for switch, everything lines up. Be sure to order a new manifold seal!
Minor adjustment for the switch mount.
Original throttle body was shot, leaked
Worked well, need to go for a ride

Don't rebuild your OE throttle body, upgrade to this one Superior to the OE design in every way it's a no-brainer.

Wish i got the version wit the TPS and NOT WOT/Idle switch. Would have save a few bucks...but all in about the same price. Been great so far. .VERY high quality

Works good!

What I needed, and arrived fast. My kind of purchases

Easy install on my 1.9L early vanagon with the two TPS switches. I had replaced the ignition harness and already had the two-wire connector to plug in to. Vacuum mod is simple and documented well. Noticable improvement right away. Pick up is downright spirty mow. Expecting good news on mpg. Minor adjustment on the air screw needed, but pretty much drop-in and go.

The old throttle valve housing is old and the throttle was little sticky. This is a great upgrade for my Tin Top and needs to be done. I highly recommend this product as it is superior to the original equipment. 5 Stars!!! R/Jeff

Extremely easy to install. Car started up instantly, no problems.

Would appreciate a little more details on how to adjusted throttle adjustment screw, but other than that, all good!

Lastly: the throttle body actually comes with the gasket needed, so you don't need to make the mistake I did and buy a 2nd one! :)

Note that the instructions show a hole to put the tension spring on, but this must be an old model, the tension spring now goes in a slightly different spot (see photos below)

I opted for this upgrade to try and help idling and performance issues with the 1984 Digijet and worn throttle, instead of $$$ for GW-EFI. While it's not as good as GW-EFI, it helped idle stability and throttle response a ton, and replaced the janky original dual TPS. Plus it's bombproof. Two thumbs up!

Excellent throttle valve housing. Big improvement from the old worn out OEM throttle.

Engine is idling smoothly after installing it. Pedal feels softer, in a good way. Easy to install.

Excellent quality and thoughtful design — highly recommended for fellow van enthusiasts considering a purchase.

Very economical solution for aging Throttle Bodies.
Thank goodness GoWesty has this. Easy install.

This is a must have for your Vanagon! It’s definitely worth every penny. Smooth acceleration and great throttle response. Makes such a big difference, felt like one of my Honda’s from the mid 90’s lol. You will not be disappointed.

Silky smooth acceleration and great idle. Simple install in a Digijet system with two TPS switches. Excellent design and build quality. Great job GoWesty!!!!

So I knew my throttle body was worn and not the best but my idle was not too high so I put this off for a while. It did chug a lot when idling, when driving slow (through a campground) the on and off idle switch was so finiky the van would start to hop. I replaced the throttle body and altered the 1.9L wiring harness, followed instructions to add a T to the manifold vacuum line for the vacuum advance. I also replaced the throttle cable (highly recommended). THIS IS THE BEST aftermarket part I have put on my vanagon. I have ratio rockers, high flow oil pump and mansi injectors. with all the great stuff done it just purrs and runs very happily down the highway. Well done GW.

well worth it! immediately noticed a difference in performance

Easy to install, and better performance.

This changed everything! My old girl was shaking, idling too high, too low, and accelerating unpredictably. I was very worried. The moment I put the new throttle in, it was like a breath of fresh air. Worth every penny. I also changed out the Accelerator cable and pin+screw which helped eliminate the possibility of sticky pedal that might have been contributing idle problems, but you'll have to determine for yourself.

The TPS finally gave out in an original GW throttle body. This repair is straight forward and relatively painless. Make sure to get a new gasket. A flattened gasket will leak air. Nice to have a consistent startup. Reliability took another step up.

I bought your billet throttle body. It arrived quickly and it took 20 minutes to install including the cruise control linkage. It started up in a 1/2 second and runs so much better. Idle is perfect, the exhaust burns way cleaner and cold idle is perfect. The machine work, anodizing, and Hall switch are awesome. Even the acceleration is snappier. Not expecting that. Couldn't be happier. Almost ready for wife and I to go on our 600 mile annual Lolo, Clearwater, Locksa river trip in Idaho on our anniversary in May. Looking forward to it. Thanks for putting together such a nice Westfalia kit.

This product was a direct swap for my 90 vanagon 2.1 liter engine. This vehicle now purrs like a kitten. Highly recommend

My vanagan had some trouble idling, i bought this upgrade and boom she runs finally. Super nice throttle body over the oem TB highly recommend.

This is definitely an upgrade over my old, worn, original throttle body! Well engineered and high quality. The TPS on the old throttle body would not stay in adjustment - too much slop in the butterfly valve shaft. The new GW unit, crafted with tight tolerances and better parts, keeps the shaft in place with no air leaks and the TPS that comes with it works as it should. Worth every penny!
