English?!

The thermowax (which controls cold idle) and the double throttle system are completely seperate and do not affect each other at all. When you remove the double throttle system there is no need to remove the thermowax if you don't want to.

The thermowax is not on any shaft.

On the S5 NA, I just rigged the AWS solenoid with a wire to a console switch to a ground.
Anytime I wanted faster idle, I just flipped on the switch.
I also had a relay ground it when the AC compressor was on.

On the S5 turbo, I set the hard stop a little higher.

Both had full TB mods.
