Now, you cut off the water mantels (almost like the cooling shields on aircooled engines), and then you've basically got a clean T1/T3 case. The big difference is that the wbx is not a magnesium case, but instead an aluminum case, just as the T4 case. In addition, the case is much stronger than new Brazil cases. It also has a proper filter, instead of the screen. The small problem is that this case does not have any mounting points for cooling shields. I would rather stick wi²nÿmck wbx, and install radiator and water lines. Hmmmm.... my Vanagon Syncro has a 112 hp wbx, and theres a Square standing on the outside.... now that would be dark.
