sonofsam 5 Posted November 11, 2006 I think Bam asked about this a few months back.Dont think many/any would swap a 2.0L T Inlet for a 1.9 jobbie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnrobertgordon 0 Posted November 11, 2006 Only reasons i can think of would be for easier Ic piping or mabe for making a hybrid out of an xu10 and TT 5th injector setup to save on loom nightmares? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacobs53 0 Posted November 11, 2006 get yourself a citroen xm 2.0l inlet manifold. Same as the 2.0l xsi inlet but fully cast and has a twin webber throttle body on with 34mm butterflys lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Yorke 269 3 Cars Posted November 12, 2006 The port matching is miles out if you put an XU10J inlet on an XU9 head with the injectors spraying onto the gasket ad one point where there is approx 1mm of gasket sealing a high pressure system. Mine is an XU9 head with an XU9 inlet. Pipework with the XU10 inlet is easier as you can run a full length intercooler without 180 degree bends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted November 12, 2006 and modify the body to fit the turbo sensers? i know where theres 2 of those manifolds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnrobertgordon 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Pipework with the XU10 inlet is easier as you can run a full length intercooler without 180 degree bends No it just uses 4 90 degree bends instead. I find fitting any intercooler in a 205 a bit of a pain really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted November 12, 2006 I personally wouldn't bother.You know the 2.0L T. Inlet is very similar to the T16:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bam 0 Posted November 12, 2006 ...its possible to fitt the gti manifold with bigger tb, than 2.0T. (less streß for engine etc) 2.0T tb looks similar...but isnt it. i use a dp custom manifold..with rs ic. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted November 12, 2006 an Audi TB fits with a little modification but I dont know which one and how much bigger it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted November 12, 2006 You mixed up some things...the Audi TB fits the Mi16 manifold. A good TB for a 1.9-8V manifold is fitted to Alfa Romeos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
