How come 8v has this and 16v don't

[16vbanger]

well we are breaking our old 87 8 valve and came across this cold air intake see pic

yet our 88 valver and the other 88 valver we stripped recently have this cap

what's goin on the 16v should need more nice cold air than the 8v

Oh well our 16v will have one very soon

i've never seen one before?! has it got a part number? i want one!!

[16vbanger]

the part number is 191 129 622 for the main body and 191 129 628 for the rubber elbow 
that one now has a few more air holes

ETKA calls it an "Intake air duct" wonder if you can still get them?

[16vbanger]

I don't know but I've got one  :tongue: 

where do I get this ETKA as I have lot's of 8v +16v bit's so it could come in handy
