Default Intake part # discrepancy

I'm buying a replacement intake for my '87 S4 to have powder coated. I've looked at 2 different intakes and both have part # 928 110 546 2R

PET lists the part # as 928 110 228 00 or 928 110 228 02

I would like to know this intake will fit on my engine before I buy it and have it coated.

Thanks in advance.

The number on the intake is the casting number, not the part number.
Check the casting number on your intake.

Now that's a problem. Looks like the only way to see the casting number is by removing the intake. My plan is leave my intake on the engine till I have a spare that's powder coated (trying to minimize shark down time).

Hey Don,

I don't know the answer to your part # problem and this may just add to it but, I happen to see this one on Ebay.

1990 GT complete intake

I'm sure if you give one of the Big 3 a call they would be able to shed some light on the subject.

Good luck,

Don, The correct part # for your car (same as mine) is 928 110 228 02 the other # was discontinued. Hope this helps.

Dave M. -

Thanks for the heads-up on the eBay item. I emailed the seller, asking him what the number is on the bottom of the intake. Maybe it'll help & maybe not.

Ed -
Thanks for the confirmation on the part number. That leads me to the next question. Is the part # located anywhere on the intake? Or is the only number on the intake the casting #? Is there any way to cross reference the part # and the casting #, or is it all part of the Porsche sleight of hand?

Don, Don't remember if the number is cast in the part or not. Sorry. By the way the 90 Gt intake is the same as yours.

DonT - Here is the bottom of my '87 intake. PN 928 110 546 2R. I had another set of cam covers and intake powder coated, then swapped out to reduce down time. So I have the cam covers that came off my '87 available - PM me if you need them.

Everybody - Thanks a lot. I really appreciate the help.

Steve J. - Your picture is exactly the confirmation I wanted - you have the same number as the intake I found. I already have the spare set of cam covers, thanks anyway. Who did your powder coating? I've seen Crosslink Powder Coating in Dallas mentioned frequently. I was looking for something closer, but close doesn't mean better.

Don - I used Crosslink and was very pleased with the results and the price. If you decide to send yours there, I'll look after them for you.
