There is more than 3mm to be cut out of the JH intake to fit the Audi5K TB.
Her is an extract picture from my tech note, TB face with audi5K TB gasket
laying against it

And after cutting it out.

As you can see, plenty of MEAT on that intake.. No worries of "breaking
through"

->Hi Rick,
->
->	Strange that you should say this (I THOUGHT I'd 
->mentioned it somewhere before but that doesn't necessarily 
->mean I did) because as of right now the JH in the Lexicar has 
->a old school rabbit 4-2 ex. mani. and Audi 5K TB mounted on 
->the Fox intake.
->
->It can mostly be seen here(HUGE):
->
->http://unrealexpectations.ath.cx/scirocco/tn/roc265.jpg.html
->
->and here(Huge too!):
->
->http://unrealexpectations.ath.cx/scirocco/tn/roc260.jpg.html
->
->There have been no raintray denting issues in the MKII 
->Lexicar and except for the custom piping needed for the cold 
->start valve in it's original location, it's been rock solid 
->and actual plug and play performance.
->
->I'm considering porting the JH intake to match the 3A TB 
->because I would like to take out my present JH complete (to 
->be replaced by the mutant) and throw it into the brown '86 8v 
->for a sleeper.
->The other plus is that the JH intake is just floating around 
->loose and would be extremely easy to send w/ the head for 
->port matching to keep the Lexicar running up to the point of 
->major surgery.
->An early GTI intake will be searched for too, but if not 
->found, I may be going the porting route.
->
->I'll be ordering a Audi 5K/intake gasket and be using that 
->for my template on the JH intake. If there is less than an 
->1/8"-3mm~ left to either side after template marking, it will 
->not be attempted.
->
->We'll see what that cat drags in......  ;^}
->
->Thank you for the input and recommendations though!
