AAN inlet on ABY

[Rusty]

Can an AAN inlet be fitted on an ABY with the ABY PAS pump retained? Are any other parts (water manifold) different? I know the breather is different but that's not a concern.

[GazzaG60]

go wagner. you wont regret it.

I think the aan and aby water manifolds are different.

Fuel rail
water manifold
dipstick
tb cable

make up rad hoses

Move power steering pump

extend TPS, IAT wiring


angle rad (+slimline fan), or short rad, AAN IM small chassis rad (vidar) (or notch chassis leg ala SQ)

[GazzaG60]

so its gotta be as cost effective to go wagner and also gain some

Wouldn't you also need to rejig tge intercooler and all the intake plumbing?

Yes, sorry I was assuming that was a given

Intercooler (+crossmember or get stock intercooler welded)
intercooler-tb hoses (inc mount the ISV somewhere)

Yes, interwarmer and cooling are a given. I was thinking of getting a custom rad designed up and minimising the changes required to go short intake.

Andy, if you want to duplicate what you're doing to share the costs let me know...

Indeed, I had all the AAN stuff - looked at what was needed to do it properly, then sold it and bought Wagner - its a nicer solution for not a lot more money when you add it all up

other than dinging the bonnet. even on the b3 im gonna have to ding the bonnet to clear the TB. it closes but I know from last time throttle opens but no closes. pretty dangerous. nice little panel hammer does the job. not cutting the bonnet.

probly not an issue on AAN.

Got a ported aan intake and water manifold for reasonable money if interested.

Vidar does one if you want a china one, or I would imagine radtech would be able to make one to order for a UK one (Radtech did a nice one for Kit)



Are you going to go to AAN serpentine or relocate the PS pump?

I got all the bits, (I like doing stuff cheap) and decided it was just not worth the hassle and ended up buying a wagner.

I did not realise you had got one Alex, is that going on with the next turbo?

With access to the appropriate tig equipment what are people thoughts on the cutting and flipping the ABY manifold?
