Re: (16v) some rocco questions...

Wait just one moment.
The 50mm did come stock on some 86.5 16v Sciroccos in the US.
The cars were recalled and 40mm manifolds were installed and the 50mm
intakes
were removed. The 16v did not have good bottom end with the 50mm intakes and
customers
were disappointed with the car. Some 86.5 cars did not get this part changed
and
they are the ones that you will find the 50mm intake. I do not think any 88
would have
one unless a dealer used one from a 86.5 that had been removed or one from
Europe
was substituted. Some people have said that they have found 50mm intakes in
the junkyards.
