Pipercross Carbon Intake

[MBCGTI]

Slight price difference to this one, I take it this one is the original one??

Is the pipercross one actually carbon or is it some cheap alternative plastic??

So could it put an intake and standard GTI engine cover on?

[mkviken]

yeah

[Ginge 35Edition]

Sweet, that's the plan then.

[Ess_Three]

yeah

Eh?
Do you mean can you put a standard GTI engine cover on an Ed35 and run a standard GTI type inlet?

If so...no. You can't.
The Mk5/Ed35/R engines have the MAF at the back of the engine...Mk6 GTIs have it attached to the inlet/airbox.

Doh! Looks like I'll have to wait for Wigit to pave the way! I want to do some under the hood tweaks but don't like the idea of loosing the engine cover.

You should be able to use a replacement engine cover for any K04 Mk5/Mk6 R, so should be able to buy a carbon cover if you want the bling.

For an inlet, and Mk5 K04 inlet kit should work. Ed30 for sure...probably LCR or S3 too I'd have thought.

Am I right in thinking that the ed35 is the same engine as the ed30?
