I'm not exactly sure about all GTIs, but I seem to remember looking at
the engine of a 1981 GTI, if I'm not wrong, the throttlebody was at the
flywheel end. What I am 100% sure of, is that the 4-cyl Audi 80 (4000)
and VW Passat (Quantum) have the throttlebody at the flywheel end. I
also know that the 1,6/110hp GTI engine was the top engine for these two
cars, before the 5-cyl was available.
