Throttle bodies and intake manifolds

Are these the same on Jspec and UK engines? or more accurately are they interchangable?

Cheers.

UK spec intake manifold has that EGR bit on the back, but apart from that i'm not sure if the TB's are any different.

The throttle body has an extra pipe on the top, which doesn't appear to do much, if anything. See a previous thread by here.

Apart from the EGR like Robert already said, the intake manifold is slightly different when it comes to one of the connections. Here's some info taken from Tony's turbo write up:

The manual for the UK says to remove the VSV for fuel pressure control, but this doesn't look like a VSV. I think it's the intake temp. sensor, which the UK spec doesn't have (mines a J-spec):-

Here's a picture of my UK one for comparision (ignore my AEM map sensor and bracket):

Thanks Rob, Kev, I want ot do some work on sprucing up both these, I thought if I could get some second hand ones I could do them up first then do a swop when there ready. Unfortunately there only ever seams to be Jspec ones up for sale, I think I'll just do mine all in one go and be stuck without the car for a while.

Cheers.

I know what you mean. I managed to get mine from a chap when he fitted an aftermarket manifold and t/b. Is it worth dropping the breaker chaps a PM?
