RE: TB/intake upgrades

["Aaron Ness" <aaron@makuta.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>What about using an A2 intake anyway?  Has anyone considered this?  I was
thinking about it (more hypothetically than anything), and my brother's '85
GTI seems a little cleaner under the hood because the fuel distributor and
everything are right  next to the engine.  I think it would be a real hassle
in the end, but if you have an A2 carcass to work with, it seems like it
should be fairly simple to swap what you need.

Is this even possible, based on engine bay dimensions?

RPI sells Audi runners modded to fit our cars. Don't
know if the gain is worth the bucks ($395 last time I
checked). . .

The A2 intake faces the wrong way :(

Some places like Bellevue Motor Sport sell port
matched intakes. I don't know if they still exist
(206-747-FAST).
