As quoted previously and by ainarssems, WOT is wide open throttle and the SSP is the self study program that Audi issues to all of its tech's as part of their training.

I've had the same issue on my '01 S8. I did think of the metal Gruven items, but I would imagine the OEM parts are plastic for a reason. To protect the internals.
If the shafts are seized, the plastic arms would break. If these arms are metal, something else would break (internally, and more expensive). In my opinion, the aluminium arms would only serve to mask an inherent problem. Don't under estimate the force those vacuum units exert. If the shafts or flaps break internally, the engine would swallow the bits. I had 20 made for me, from a less-brittle plastic, as durable as the originals. These too would break, if the shafts were seized in the bushes. These are available for any interested parties. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4210

Good work
It might be worth offering these to the A8 Freunde guys in Germany too or to the forums in the states. Are you gonna get the longer version made for A8's too?

I might look into getting the 40V A8 links replicated. I've only held off, as the S8 seems to be more in demand, I've never been asked for the 40V 2" links.
