E30 throttle cable is too short, you need to have M60 throttle cable.

The second throttle body is for ASC, which you should get rid of. You can either buy the longer rubber-boot ( http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E34/S ... ow_sensor/ ) or or remove the flap and block the holes.

I've always done the second option as it makes using silicone hoses much easier (you need to shorten the rubber boot a bit in order to make it fit nicely).
