yes and no, it binds up a little
the 2" coupler fits perfect, the k04 turbo side already has the rubber o-ring, then you have to jam the silicon coupler on there pretty tight, it was tighter fitting than the oem inlet housing when i pulled it off,
i also snug'd the safety wire a lil to make it even tighter, "thin wire you twist for bikes and exhaust wrap"
dont forget this is a vacuum side so "no boost pressure" and the intake vac will pull it even tighter.
i just took the loose turbo and cut inlet to the local hydraulic rubber and gasket supply and matched up what i needed . pretty EZ

Nice, like the idea. Hopefully it works out for you. You don't want to have to swap out
those inlets for K04 inlets down the road. It's a PITA. They fit tight enough with the motor out of the car...lol
) got the car running tonight! still gotta bolt ont he calipers and front clip!
