I dont know where to get the manifold but i do know what head id get, an AQY head. They are crossflow heads and im pretty sure they fit straight on to your 8v block.

You'd need to weld and re-drill the oil return to suit a counterflow block.  I'd definitely put a crossflow head on there, although I think 45s on a GTI motor is a pointless waste of fuel and tuning potential.
