Sounds like a ibiza cupra mc. Normal for 20vt conversions to run that one.

do the normal mk2 ones not have only 2 pipes coming off them? with 2 t-pieces on the bulkhead just above/behind gearbox?

They do but there not stubby. Normally when a 20vt is put in you use a cupra mc or a g60.
G60 is 4 port and when I last wanted a cupra one I got asked 4 or 2 port.
So assumtion would be stubby

standard mk2 would be cast iron and newer ones would be alloy?
