    Well as mentioned there is only one way to find out...

    If its any use here are the three part numbers direct from VADIS for the 3.0 TB's

    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    If Im not mistaken the standard is 2.5" and these are 3". Fairly straightforward yes, port the inlet manifold and extend the sensor wires and your done.
