I'm in the process of rebuilding a mates T5 2.5TDI , the exhaust manifolds are prone to cracking and after some investigation we found the problem.
Anyway to cut a long story short, I ordered a new manifold for his van and it arrived this morning ..... hmmm I thought that port shaping and bolt pattern looks familiar, so I popped the bonnet off of "The Beast" and whipped off the manifolds and have a guess what , the T5 2.5TDI manifold fits the T4! The turbo is set upside down on the T5 (bugger to work on) and I needed to be somewhere else but its got me thinking... DAMN YOU VANS!
I've got a T5 2.5TDI turbo in the garage just cannot remember which Garret it is....GT2x.
Pictures to prove right?
