Ko4 on agu question
« on: 11 May 2014, 18:01 »
Hi guys not got a mk4 but got a mk3 with an agu 1.8t engine

I have all the items for the conversion only question I have is in regards the inlet, I have the bam inlet manifold that is a small port and the agu head is obviously large port I was just wondering if anyone on here has either port matched the inlet to the head (if so had any problems?) or used a small to large port spacer? If so where can you get one in the uk as I cannot find one anywhere

Thanks for you help !

Surely its just cheaper to get a used AGU inlet manifold
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

my guess is the throttle housing needs to be on the passenger side rather than the drivers?

You could look for the very rare early Sharan inlet that has large ports and the throttle mounted on the passenger side or fit some sort of step down adapter if such a thing exists. I doubt there's enough meat on the inlet itself to port it out

Found an adapter gasket :) and so I can use the bam inlet, the tt injectors j have don't fit in the agu seats so overall as I got the tt injectors and bam inlet for free it's cheaper to just get the spacer gasket :) thanks :)
