Title: Will a MK1 GTI Manifold Fit on a standard MK1?
Post by: SpearMintTom on 09 February 2007, 14:31

I have a MK1 Golf 1.6 - can a 4-2-1 Branch Manifold (meant for a mk1 golf gti) fit to the mk1 golf? - If so is there any modification thats required - if so how much & what needs doing?

Rubjonny, I've messaged the guy on another forum and he says that he's pretty sure it won't fit on a standard golf mk1.

I have a MK1 Golf 1.6, non GTI - the manifold im looking to buy is for a GTI MK1 are you sure it will fit?

Yeah the big block 8v manifolds bolt patterns are all the same shape, whats the engine code on your 1.6 and I'll double, double check ;)
