MAF - turbo hose for tight clearance RS2 turbo in Coupe Quattro.

[Ben Swann]

Followup - still searching, but with more information.

As expected, there is a VIN split with two different hoses for the 200 10V with MC
engine.  I expect versions of the MC-2 using K24 with larger diameter can be made to
work with a little stretch - RS-2 turbo inlet is slightly bigger, but the hose should
work.

I'm wondering if anyone knows, can verify, compare hoses or plain out knows.  What is
the difference between the earlier MAF-turbo "J" hose for the MC vs. the later hose.

Part numbers are :
Earlier	034 145 747
Later	034 145 747D

Again, I'm looking for a hose that is shaped like this, and has a 2" diameter on the
turbo side.  Anyone know what the RS2 part number is?
