Granted, this very well could be.  Here's what they had to
say in the March / April 1982 VW & Porsche article about
the new '82 Scirocco:

"There have been a number of changes in the fuel injection
system.  For instance, the diameter of the sensor plate has
increased from 60 to 80mm.  This brings much larger air
metering forces into play and should improve throttle
response."

I'm not sayin' that they're right or wrong, it very well
could have been a mid-year thing.

Oh fwiw, I had an '82 a couple years ago, and I'm pretty
sure it had the 80mm plate.  :)
