[Mk2] [Turbo] Visual differences between rev1 tubby engine and rev2

Post by SW20Paul »

Hi there i was wondering if there are any noticeable differences between these two engines.

I have a rev1 turbo but the intake pipe is not the funnel one and it doesnt look aftermarket wondering if i have a rev1 car with a rev2 engine ?

on a rev2 there is a black casdt support which runs from the inlet manifold to the head , where the breather pipe comes out

also the throttlebody has either one more or one less small pipes coming off it
