Default eeciv vs 4x4 plenum

how do you tell the differance between
a 4x4 saph/big turbo escos plenum
and a small turbo escos eeciv plenum

i know the differance between 2wd and 4wd but never paid any
attention to the small turbo plenum?
is it a direct fit to a 2wd trumpet section,
i'm sure the sensors are differant but can they just be swapped over?
basicaly what needs done to fit it?

I had one & sold it but it was tapped into the normal place & looked factory , you have to drill the throttle body holses out slightly but not a big deal

You can drill and tap the cover in the same place as std 2wd/4x4 for the ACT sensor. As said before the air takeoffs are at the front and back of the plenum cover.

All of the trumpet sections are the same, 2wd, 4x4, Small turbo all smae so any cover will fit any

Your throttle body holes will need opening up from 6mm to 8mm to clear the bigger bolts the EECIV plenum uses.

I am just changing from 2WD to eeciv plenum and need to drill and tap it for the act sensor. Does anyone know what thread size the sensor has?
As its quite difficult over here to get NPT or BSP thread taps I want to get it right the first time.

Thanks!
