Mike,

If your car has the original motor it is a 1.7
(1715cc).

Yes, the TB from an Audi 5000 can improve performance
nominally (only if you port match the intake to the
bigger TB). BTW, the Audi 5K TB is the same as the A2
CIS TB, which is the same as the Neu$peed TB. With the
A2 or Audi TB, you'll probably want to swap the
linkake from your old TB. If you use the A2 TB, you'll
want to swap the  idle screw from the old TB as well.

IMHO, The biggest quick kick you can give your car is
a better exhaust, followed by a cam.
