There are existing threads on this somewhere. If i remember correctly it's just a case of drilling out the extra port in the2.5 tb

datourer is correct, I have seen people mention this in the past when they order the bbtb and it comes without the 2 holes. I recall Jimbob talking about this for sure.

Yea twas me, was a bit of a shocker when I first noticed it.
I just drilled through and it fits quite snug (gradually went through drillbit sizes, started at 6mm i think up to 10mm).

Later B25s had the one pipe, if you dont want to try and make a hole get a early one, or just take a pipe out from the brake booster.
