Often one of the brass vacuum fittings on the throttle body protrudes
into this restrictor, and must be pulled out before knocking the restrictor 
out.

Also, there were a few years where VW used a smaller air flow sensor 
plate, and swapping the smaller air fllow sensor for the larger one will
greatly improve flow.
