I messed with things tonight. I found out that the VW bolt / tube thingy is a 3/4-16 thread, not a M20x1.5 like the OE Mirage filter uses. I'm thinking about just switching to a 3/4-16 filter though. I can't imagine there is much difference. What do you guys think? The filters for my Prius spin right on, and they're a little shorter too...
