Not much work required,just drill out the mounting holes for M8 clearance (8.3/8.5) and it is a straight fit.

As above mate.

all i did was drill out the holes and everything fits into place, just a tad close between the top of the tps and underside of the plenum.

Small turbo throttle body is bigger. Why fit a smaller one from T34?
