I'd guess an 8v digifant. There should be a sticker on the underside of the bonnet showing where they go

Hi

Sorry, I cant help if it had been a 16v I would have popped the bonnet on mine and posted a few pictures.
Im sure some one more knowledgeable will be along soon to help though!

Hi mate,

have you got the standard airbox? IF so then you just have a hose from the back of that to the throttle body on the top of the engine.

Plus the vacuum tubes that operate the cold/warm air feed in the bottom of the airbox.
