Been on hottuning's website and they have for sale a manifold which is described as fitting a mk1 16v (mk2 engine) or they have one that fits the Scirroco 16v, are these the same and if not which one do i need?? Also would this come with downpipe too? Cheers, Mark..

hmm not sure why the rocco would be different, unless its designed for an actual scirocco 16v... id have thought it would be from head all the way to front silencer? best to give em a bell!  oh and make sure they're RHD ones

Ah good point, i'd have overlooked that! I think it is actually designed for the 16v Rocco, only reason i bring this point up is that i'v read the Rocco item can also be used, although there must be a slight difference as the prices vary slightly?

Mind you still a few bits on that. What's left in the interior? Rado parts are really hard to get hold of, especially little bits of trim. Once you've stripped what you need I would recommend putting pics up of everything you have left on the corrado forum. Stuf flike screw covers, dashboard shells (especially black ones) and stuff liek that can fetch a bit of cash.
