BAM intake manifold on AUQ??

[danwalton23]

Hi this is my first thread on here so please forgive me if make mistakes.

I was wondering if a BAM intake manifold would be a direct for to the AUQ engine. Would everything fit ok apart from the intercooler pipes. My reasons for wanting to do this is to allow a fmic that flows straight through rather than the inlet and outlet on the same side. I have seen the intercooler of this type fitted on the AUQ but the intercooler pipes run round the top right of the engine and I'd like to avoid this if possibly. And help would be appreciated thanks

Yes, it does as they are both small port head
As said though the throttle body is on the other side
Many use a LCR charge pipe too when they do it

Thanks just what I wanted to hear

Would the charge pipe be a straight fit also with having the different turbos?

Youd need to get the 2 brackets that support it that bolt to the head and then make a join from turbo to charge pipe
K04 sit further towards the outside than K03s so you'd have a bit of a tighter bend than OE LCR setup but a few have already done

I have a spare inlet mani from an S3 (same as LCR) if you need one

I'll have a think about what I'm going to do and keep you inundate thanks
