The 2006 Cobra pipe is superior (metal pipe from air filter to turbo).
Hoewever the connection to the turbo us different. ( better to get the air around a tight 90% turn).
If you you an 06 turbo, you will need an 06 cobra pipe ( $130 or so).
Better results than earlier versions.
Turbo Oil lines / water will fit - the problem is the banjo bolt going into the turbo. In the Td04 it is a narrower bolt - If you bolt in on the banjo will leak & the turbo will quickly die from Oil starvation. However you can shim the turbo lines with a couple of M10 washers that match the smaller bolt & you can save $250 for the lines.
Good luck.
