Hi M8!
The garret T3/t4 foot print is totally different to the KO3, Is your brothers car a golf 1.8t AGU aswell? and is the cracked manifold made from cast or tube steel If it is tube I have a mate who can repair them, my calibra manifold goes in every year to be stitched up.

hi nick
yes it is a 1.8t agu and i think it is steel plus it need a gasket for the manifold as it keeps on blowing whats the best gasket to get is an ali any good.

hello
If it is steel then I can get it fixed for you no problem, As with it blowing gaskits this will be down to the face being warped, You can test it with a steel ruler. there is a company close to me called clayfield & Hall who can machine the face for you and make it perfic then a OME gaskit should be fine to use.
