At least the guy took was decent about admitting his mistake. Alas, the thread has all the ingridients of a classic thread. Cocky guy, calling other OG members names, and setting himself up for an epic fail. :lol ---

thats a 50mm intake too… ABF manifold FTW. theres a bunch of random vac. lines just chilling, the small one goes to the bottom of the t.b. boot to the valve getting vac. @ the brake booster. the throttle cable isn’t connected, he replaced the hard plastic tube that goes to the throttle tube with some braided looking shizz, etc… ---

Edit… ABF also uses a single plate throttle body similar to the ABA and the VR6 not the dual butterfly style ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/rfletcher/abf.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/c/8c504d7ccf31067b2c858c4b9da10a4e871b2844.jpeg) ---

i think the ABF’s were rated close to 170, but the VWMS versions were rated at 200bhp. not much benefit to using an ABF if you can find one, except the use of a serpentine drive, most people just do an ABA block 16v head, and MSnS now
