yeah sorry Rev.D and E are the same but i thinke some A-C had 31/32 set up and the mouth on these turbos is different been there done that
and some had two number 8 hoses one near each Bov and some had one

[bd-850]

Shouldnt be any difference at all. B4's through their life in Oz all used VF33/32. Under the bonnet they should be the same in D and E

[Mosti]

All AUDM B4's are rev D or rev E 2001-2003. Rev A-C are the earlier B4's 1998-2000

[bd-850]

yeah "applied model BE5DK9D"

as i said still learning

Reviving an old thread here. To the guys who got one of these, what are your thoughts on it? Are there any noticeable differences to the performance after fitting. I contacted the seller on eBay and they still have them so I'm considering buying one if they are worth it.

[RSK20]

Ditto..

Excuse my ignorance. How different are the vf 33/32 mouth from the vf 27/28 mouths? Surely they can't be so different that you couldn't make one of these pipes fit a rev A-C?

Yes you can make it fit an earlier Rev A-C.
The secondary turbos VF14---->VF32 are the same fit
The primary VF33 has 60mm compressor intake compared to the VF13--->VF31 which have 46mm.To increase turbo collar size from 46 ---> 60mm (wind/wrap 20mm wide gaffer tape around collar)
There are other subtle variations with the earlier intakes, but the silicon one can be easily modified.(block and or add port)

I've only had my B4 for a week, so I'm even more of a noob... I don't even know where the turbos are... LOL

[natho]

Just in case anyone finds this thread with a search like I did. I used one of these intake pipes on my B4 recently. Needed a 10-13mm right angle adapter for the rear breather, 13-13mm right angle adapter for the front breather, trim the secondary turbo inlet, trim the primary turbo inlet, trim the join between the two halves of the inlet, trim the SPRV port, and also needed an adapter for the BOV return pipe (i used something i had spare so can't provide a size for an off the shelf adapter).

Natho was this a worthwhile mod for you? Where did you pick it up?

[natho]

hard to tell to be honest, the car has only been running with the new motor since sunday, and given i bought the car with a spun bearing, i haven't really got anything to compare it to. i suspect i'm now hitting the boost cut sometimes, which would mean it has improved flow somewhat. will need to do some data logging when i get time, and then i've got ported turbos to go on too.

I would consider this just to get rid of the old brittle thing that's in the barge now. Only problem is Rev A has smaller primary comp snout. Could always make a sleeve of some sort?

the bit you need to cut off the end would do.
