 The guy in Minnesota still has the carborated Rabbit airbox but isn't registered on here.
 Are you on the vortex?
  If so I'll see if he is.

Last week i paid some guy on the poortex for a mk2 td airbox.

Think i'll have much trouble installing it in my mk1 jetta?

 No problem, it should fit well,.. but like mentioned you might want to find a way to keep it in place.
 Mine just sits there nicely.

Same here, a bungee solved the moving around issues of the airbox

Sent you a pm fatmobile.
If anyone else has an idea let me know. If anyone has a bottom half of a g60 box or the top half of a mk2 intake that would be great. I have the opposite halves of each.

I make these for Mk1

I used a cone K&N filter with a s/s sleeve first until I found a MK1 airbox

I hope this helps

GEE-BEE you might want to correct all your listing for those intake pipes, it is very misleading and I don't know how you have advertised them that way for so long and no one has corrected you.

The T2 and K14 have smaller air inlets than the K24 and T3, so there's no way one hose can fit all those applications.
Then you have the issue of MK1 vs MK2 airboxes openings, which as you know, MK1 is oval and MK2 is round.

Why do you advertise a pipe than can fit all those turbos when they can not?  Do you include some sort of coupler/converter?

Your intake for the K03 turbo is the same size as the T2 and K14 and should be advertised as such, those you linked are ONLY for the K24 and T3 turbos, and will not fit K14 and T2.
I have a T2, T3, K14 and K24 if you need measurements and verification, but I know for a fact the intake pipes for the K14 and T2 are much smaller than the K24 and T3.
