S2 v RS2 ISV Hard Pipe

[DFrosty]

Greetings All!

If this has been previously discussed, do please redirect me to that link?

If not, as neither of these platforms were offered here in the states, would any of you be able to illustrate what is the physical difference between the hard pipe at TB for S2 v RS2...Other than the part number update:
034 133 499
034 133 499 D

S2 3B and S2 ABY are different around that area.

S2 ABY and RS2 are identical, so it is not a question of S2 v RS2 is more of S2 3B vs S2 ABY (I cannot help you here, no experience with the 3B)

When I fitted an RS2 inlet manifold to my 3B I had to space the TB over for the hose to connect to it, this was with stock 3B hard pipes.
I don't remember how I dealt with connecting part number 25, either turned it round or used a longer hose to connect to the ISV.
I'm on a Wagner reverse setup now so probably have the old Part 25 in my “box of odd pipes” if you need it. I know I saw the 3B inlet pipes the other day.

The RS2's hard pipe at the throttle body likely has subtle differences in diameter, material, and design to support the increased performance demands of the RS2's larger turbo and higher boost levels.

You got banned quickly, I wonder what for???

Why they felt the need to over engineer that hard pipe for the RS2 is beyond me, the one on my 3B was perfectly happy with lot's of 2bar K24 7200 action.

I had more problems keeping the intake hose attached to the throttle body. I only ever use a stock hose here as they have an internal lip which helps keep them in place.

I happened to find my old 3B hard pipe today whilst rummaging for another oil line.

Thank you all for the input!

What will be the going rate for a 3B or ABY hardpipe for you gents that have one to part ways with??
