Manfolds....
« on: 04 June 2011, 17:25 »
What's best for an 8 valve, I'm replacing the stem seals so obviously this needs to be unbolted and I'm wondering whether i should uprate it or not??
I'll be on a tight budget too so is it worth it?
Cheers ;)

Manifolds on these cars are rated highly anyway if you do a search mate.  :smiley:

I honestly wouldn't bother, it's not had any other real mods has it?

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.
