A big THANK_YOU to Andrew TT...and a few others, see link, for their help
Andrew drove, probably 60 miles RT, to deliver to me a throttle valve controller that I could swap into my TT to determine the root cause of all the codes I was kicking up. I dropped his replacement TB in and reset the codes. I then went for a "spirited drive" with no lights or problems. I returned home checked for codes...None... and while waiting for things to cool down under the hood I started cleaning my TB. I should have taken pics of a before & after(it was pretty black inside and I found a small piece of blue silicone rubber stuck under the flapper near the pivot) but I was too concerned about getting it back in the TT to test drive it. I reinstalled the original TB back in the TT and went for another "test Drive" no worries, CELs etc. and NO CODES...
Thanks again everyone...ain't this forum great???<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/threads/430736.phtml#1548922">Original plea for help</a></li></ul>

very cool! i had TB issues one time... dealer found a lot of carbon buildup inside
a simple cleaning eliminated my problems. i was getting a lot of engine stuttering at WOT above 5K. it's probably a good idea to take this thing out and clean it every 40K-50K miles.

Did the TB look anything like this? (Mine was nasty, too.)

Yes it is thanks for your help....I think it was a remnant from when I relo'd my dv
that must have worked it way loose...it wasn't very big in fact, I wiped it out with a Q-tip but it dropped off and I couldn't find it afterwards.
