Hello, can anyone tell me the proper procedure after you install a new throttle body, from what i'm seeing is that you can't just put a new one on and drive off, what has to to be done in this case?

You need someone with VCDS (aka VagCom) to perform the throttle body adaption.

Well, you could but you should have a Throttle body adaption done via a Vag com. Takes about 2 minutes tops and will calibrate your Throttle body to your ECM.
Other than that you should be good to go.
