can you change the whole air box and dsg intake from a 90bhp tdi to a r32 model. instead of cutting the standard box to fit bigger intake pipe?

the r32 airbox is £70 iirc just as easy to cut your std box's opening dead easy and then apply some silicone sealant just to provide a better seal i did that on my 1.8T cut the opening and fabricated the original seal onto and around the dsg pipe and any gaps applied the sealant worked a treat :afro:
