no problem yep it fits perfectly although afaik you can use the audi one but it has to come apart to get it to fit like it does on the mk4 thats why i went for the e-bay one  :wink: cheers :afro: black was my initial colour in mind no i had it done at a local powdercoating company for £40  :smiley:

cheeper than i thought did they take it apart for you or did you just take them that part some more silicone hoses and your engine will look emense!

the ones from volksbits have already been modified to suit so its just a case of fitting it and admiring it  :smiley: cheers i'm thinking about some forge boost hoses in blue at some point i think
