Noob Vararam Help !
Hi guyz,
proud new owner of a 99 targa here, I have a few questions concerning a vararam intake...
To make a long story short, the previous owner had a vararam on the car (wich is bone stock) and didnt know what he had.. when he wanted to change the filter, insteand of doing that he took everything out and replaced it with a cheap e-bay cold air... So now taht i found out I have a vararam just waiting to get back in the car I will tackle this as one of my many winter projects....
Now for the questions.. I think i have the VR-b1 version.. pretty hard for me to tell but by the pics I found.... Wich replacement filter should I get, i found two similar ones and dont know whats the differences are and if there will be any fitment issues...
these are the two filters I found...

and

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have already found countless info on this site before I bought my car !
Thanks
Simon

I say do it the right way and contact vararam and get the newer top half plus green filter for $99 
. I was in the same situation as you, I had the old vararam with the REALLY crappy foam filter and it fell apart the minute I took it off.
