For info if anyone wants to upgrade to e-throttle, using a standalone ECU:

Ideally you use the throttle pedal from a P2 vehicle. The P80 e-throttle pedal sucks in the way that it uses CAN to send its backup signal whereas the P2 one sends the main signal as 0-5V and the backup as a PWM signal.

And the nice thing is: the main body of the pedal unit has exactly the same housing and mounting points as the P80 one so it bolts right up. All you have to to is to remove (destroy) the plastic pedal from the P2 unit and put on the steel pedal from a P80 unit (from junkyard/ebay) and you're good to go.

That's how I did it on mine.

As throttle body you can use whatever you want. Ideally a Volvo/Bosch one. There are also plenty VAG units out there, e.g. with 82mm if you want a bigger one. Gotta love DBW ;)
