As the title says, I am installing a K24 on my 93 Passat, and I am wondering if there is an easy solution to connect between the air cleaner and the turbo inlet. The stock one is made for the K14 turbo so it is too small for the K24 inlet. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks
IF it was a Jetta/golf car I'd say just get the pipe from an earlier car. Did the passat ever come with a 1.6? If so there's your answer.
I made an intake for my flat maroon rabbit out of pvc pipe, but after I did that I thought a setup from the junkyard would have been better. A fuel injected 460 engine has some massive pipes going into the injection unit and the little 2.0 gassers american or vw have stuff you could make 2 into1 with a pvc reducer
. You could measure the length of the run and the od's of where you want them to bolt onto and maybe make something that way. It would be really cheap and easy...it will be what I do for my Jetta I am working on.
Part of the rubber duct for a k14 is tapered. I cut it little by little till it fit my T3 inlet. I only used a short straight section of the rubber to get behind the AC lines, then used steel elbows to connect to a giant pep boys cone filter.
get some 3" aluminum, steel, or pvc pipe and get a cone filter to put on it and reduce it to the turbo inlet size, that is what i did i guess if you dont want to mess with the airbox

Thanks for the reply - looks like the Passat did come with a 1.6TD. Etka shows that part number 357 129 627 J will work.
The original part number for the 1.9TD Passat with the K14 is 357 129 627 AE.
Just have to find one now and it'll look original.
