The A6 manifold has an independent bolt pattern, so no other OEM TB's would bolt on. If you're stuck with the stock manifold, you can bore out the TB.

i thought a b16 or b-series TB fit? Im running an after market one on my z6 manifold, and I know mine fits the b-series as well. I used my a6 one for a while on there too.

You can certainly get a larger throttle body. BUT, whether it will REALLY be beneficial is another matter altogether. Honestly, if your motor is bone-stock, you would be better off spending the ~$200 elsewhere.
