    See image above.

    Are the parts I have circled in red (mainly parts 5 and 7) the same between NA and TT cars?

    7 has ports for the recirc valves on TT but you could block those. I think NA has some silencer pipe ports or some junk on there.

    Ahh yes - I know the tubes you are talking about. Probably added for intake resonance tuning. I'm sure the car wont mind if they are missing.

    so are you confirming that they are the same then?

    I believe they'll work other than the BOVs and stuff mention above, haven't held them side by side so it is possible one of them sits at some funny angle for whatever reason but they do go to the same place.

    For Part 5 (AFM T-hose) I believe they are the same from NA to TT.

    For part 7 (and the LHS part) they are different, but can be substituted depending on what type of recirc/BOV you run.

    The diameter of the pipe that runs to the recirc valve (TT) or resonator pipe (NA) is different. The NA has a larger diameter spigot on part #7 that goes to the resonator pipe when compared to a TT equivalent part.

    If you are running TT Recirc valves, then you will need a larger hose between the recirc valve and part #7. If you are running BOV that vents to atmosphere, then you can block off the spigot on Part #7 as there is no need to recirc air back into the intake system.

    mrkarter77 No Really, They do!!!

    Having just done a conversion, quite fresh in my head that they are different.
    Only being that the port for the resonance pipes are deleted, and pipes for recirc are added. (different diameters) the actual start / finish of the pipes, and the bolt locations are identical.

    confirming that the NA pipes matched up to the TT bumper pipes - however the passenger side one was a bit of a stretch - unsure if its just my car specifically...
