it will fit on the a6. a b series tb will fit on most d series intake manifolds. just need to bore out the manifold so its the same size as the tb or else you just wasted time for nothing.

IIRC B-series will not fit OBD0 intake manifold though. I'm pretty sure the A6 mani has a different mounting flange than a Y8.

Yes they are different, I thought they were the same but there was a thread about this a week or so ago. The MAP is different too, non-OBD0 manis have it on the throttle body, OBD0 on the firewall.

Doesn't matter, you can use either map sensor, it'll work fine.

Re: (Deetz)

No extra nipple for it on OBD1 manis though, unless you ditch the canister, which should be done anyway.

92-00 Motors (D/B/H) All share the same mounting flange for TB. Before I get yelled at, 90-91 B TBs also share the same flange.

Re: (si0385.)

Is there anyway I can bore out a couple of the mounting holes?? I would imagine as long as it's pulled tight to the manifold it wouldn't really matter,anybody done this????
