Airbox differences

[jonjay]

Hello!

I am currently looking for a 150PD airbox but as a lot of us derv people dont really do CAI installs they are hard to come by. I was wondering is the 1.8T and the Cupra R airboxes the same size. I have been told that the MAF plug size is different but you can get a converter to correct this? Is this possible and will it have side effects?

Any help is appreciated as always!

surely if your just looking the airbox the MAF doesnt come into play as its in the pipe leading to the turbo or watever.
unless the pipes are different sizes of course

Easiest way to tell might be for someone to post up a part number of a genuine airbox to see if it matches?
I've got one in the shed, but i'm not selling it sorry. Can easily get the numbers for you if you require?

The MAF plugs into the airbox lid thats why I asked the question...

Like I said, I misread your other thread. I don't know if the Diesel airoxes are the same as the 1.8T ones, but the lids on the 150/180 1.8T and the 210/225 1.8T are different (LCR on Right)

The bottom halfs are the same.

i find that odd as mine doesnt, hence why i added my thoughts on the situation.

i also find it odd that VAG significantly the pd engines airbox/maf setup from the older Tdi like mine

another thing a tdi air box didn't have a hole for a secondary air intake off the pump , but the 1.8t do.
