At the risk of sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong, I went to that
web site and found a bunch of stills. I don't think they show the
internals
of the throttle, but they are interesting. I did not include all of the
pix
there -- just the ones that might shed some light on the intake system.

Doc

OOps! forgot to attach the pix. Here they are.

All I see are flanges. I see no pictures of the slide throtle.

If it is a slide throttle tt better be Teflon or antifriction
bearings with that turbo charger you could easily
lock up a slide throttle.

What is the URL Doc?

Paul,
Their on the Video RHS of thumbnails.
The throttle plate seems to have concave opening ( as apposed to your
convex/ round slide openings - which gives a smaller initial/ idle opening.
Probably less sensitive at low RPM.

Can somebody capture a sreen shot of the video.
