That is a stock S4 throttle body.
After 3 trips to the PRI show and testing out quite a few aftermarket TB's, he likes the action and quality of the Porsche unit and stuck with it.
Todd tries to use as much OEM parts on his projects. After 30+ years of developing high performance vehicles, he's learned it's hard to beat OEM on most items.

If you boost an engine there is no real benefit to going to a larger throttle. You just get crappier throttle response.

Stock S4 modified to use a different TPS and he added the machined piece (that he made) to slip on the intake hose and clamp.
