An uncle of mine had a Brazilian Volkswagen Pointer GTi, basically a rebadged Ford Escort with a Volkswagen EA827 engine, and I don't remember it having a secondary throttle plate. But I do remember some carburettors which featured a dual-stage throttle, such as the Weber 450, locally known as "mini progressivo".
