WTB: mk1 turbo diesel airbox setup
« on: September 22, 2013, 12:10:41 am »
I need a couple setups for the mk1 chasis for turbo diesel 1.6.  Not sure exactly all parts needed as I have never seen one. 

Will this box fit the mk2 intake rubber hose?

I think the mk1 TD air box had an oblong/oval shaped outlet where it connects with the hose. On the mk2 it's round.

mk2 fits but poorly and not very secure.

You can combine the tops to the bottoms of the mk1 and mk2...for instance an MK1 bottom and MK2 top.

I never see these suckers at local junkyards.  I have mk2 stock setups but had cut the fenders out of 2 cars so that the little snap on piece could be fed through the other side and kind of hold things together and not push it into the vbelt, etc.

I almost blew my engine up a few months ago during a flash rain that came out nowhere and it started sucking it up on a short drive and left the box flooded with water past the filter.

Was hoping I could jamb the mk1 box onto the rest of my stock mk2 setup.

I guess I could block that side and open some kind of inlet on the other side and shove it somewhere but I hate to cut it up.

mk1 lower sounds like my best bet?
