Diamond Auto Wreckers in campbellfield have one atm, and im pretty sure that Furntree Gully Auto Salvage always have one or two lying around, try giving them a call mate. If you manage to get ahold of one would you be interested in selling the one of his car to me? is it a Series 1 or 2 XR?

Certainly the same as the AUs. Commonly known as the explorer intake, IIRC. No point at all going from en EL2 XR8 intake to an AU one when they are the same.

The EL one has provisions for EGR, where as the AU dosn't. It will bolt straight on with no modifications needed to the air temp sensor etc

E-series are 55mm, AU are 65mm and the 220 is 70mm. T3 is 70mm I think.

There is absolutely no point going from EL2 intake to AU3. I think the 220 has a port matched lower, but you wouldn't notice the difference anyway.
