[Mk2] [Turbo] rev3 tb on a rev 2 manifold

Post by phil-p »

Does a rev 3 tb fit on a rev 2 inlet manifold on a turbo?

Done a quick search but couldnt find it, but once again i will be looking in the wrong place.

Cheers Phil

Can't really remember but don't think the holes line up, plus the locating dowel is in a different place.

Thats what I did anyway. Why do you want to do it? I did it mainly because I have an st205 c/c and it'd be a nicer fit if the sock mounted properly. I did try making the rev3 manifold fit a rev2 head, but I wasn't happy with how everything lined up.

I will be using a 205 cc on a rev 2 and i also thought the stock rev 2 tb would limit my powre of running 400bhp
