I don't know for an fd throttle body. I am using the 3 rotor TB on my fd uim. I am going to use the n/a throttle cable. I was told that will work just fine.
I mocked up the FD manifold and TB to my car while the motor was still mounted in the engine bay, the stock N/A (on an S4) throttle cable was just a hare beyond unnacceptable (very stretched) to reach the puller on the FD Throttle body.
It wouldn't work for me.
I forgot just how long the TII throttle cable was, I don't know where I am going to tuck all that cable when all I need is maybe another 2-3" of length on the N/A one in comparison to almost 4 feet extra on the TII.

Wow this was hard to follow, cause I never would have thought any of this possible.
I've got an S5 short-block but I had to use all the manifolds and wiring from the S4 motor that had come with me car. What can I do? Can I change out the upper AND lower intake manifolds to S5 or will that not work? I'm still using the stock TMIC btw.
Is this FD upper intake manifold/Throttle-Body mod possible for me?
What about when I plan to go FMIC? I agree that without a TMIC the stock UIM looks retarded. lol...
