yeah, that seems small too..  
any ideas how big the air cooled AFM is compared to the watercooled, or other watercooled I4 VWs?

I have a spare from an I4 2.0L (same displacement) think I'll try swapping it out.. easier then changing the intakes.. (which is next) 

I mean if the larger audi 5000  TB swap works soo well for the watercooled crowd ( one of 1st performance swaps in a cabriolet)

If you think the throttle plate is small....
Take a look at the square hole in the Air Flow Meter that all the air
the engine breaths has to go through....appears to be considerably
smaller in area than the throttle plate in the throttle body.
