Hello everyone.
I was wondering if anyone had installed the MST intake elbow for ea211 on a Polo 6C. Cause i just bought it, and was wondering what the easiest way to get to the 2 bolts is. Cause i cant get to both from top.
hoping someone has the experience and some tips

I myself don't have any idea on how you would go about it but I did come across this.
As far as I'm aware the 1.4 and 1.2 tsi ea211 are almost identical.

I will try to see if i can get to the bolts. Problem is there is no real space, and alot of things in the way. And seems like everything is more cramped together in the Polo.
And my engine is a 1.2 TSI Ea211

Socket on extension from the turbo inlet side.
That's how I've seen it done with the ECS inlet. Everything in there is difficult to get to. It is a small car with a small engine bay.
I was hoping at some point to get the ECS item so I've spent some time looking at that area of the engine bay and it isn't going to be a 2 minute job without some grazed knuckles.

Just see if i can squeece it in at the brakebooster and then through right then?

Yes, seems like the only place to go in. Not sure they're captive bolts or not, so not sure there's a chance of them dropping or not.
