Hi all.

Here in Vancouver BC, I found out that purchasing a new FPR locally would
cost anywhere from ~ $150 - over $300. Thankfully I found a good used FPR
but....

Around here, and maybe elsewhere, the air cooled part (image:

somewhat easier to get and less money. (new)

I searched the archives and found a post from Stan Wilder about this. I
don't recall if he was successful with using this part on a WBX engine.

Has anyone else found that the air cooled part will safely work on a WBX?

Bentley shows that the specs for testing the FPR with vacuum hose
connected, then disconnected, are the same for all the boxers.

A " T " would be required at inlet, there would be 2 more hose clamps than
with the WBX part, positioning it might be a problem, but other than that,
will the part work correctly?

Thanks

Neil.
