Since this is a 1.6, I moved it out of the TDI fora,
and into the general fora..
'91 Golf gasser converted to a 12mm pump, M-TDI.
'84 1.6TD Rabbit with a VNT-15 turbo, still setup to run on vegetable oil.
'84 GTI with 1.7TD pistons and intercooled.
2003 TDI wagon
2000 TDI Jetta.

Any 1.5, 1.6 1.7 or 1.8 gasser 8V mani will fit the head, just make sure it doesn't interfere with the exhaust mani.

I wouldn't bother with a different ex mani.

The stock turbo setup sits too high to work with the gasser intake.
Flipping the stock turbo sets it lower but I think the intake doesn't work well with the shifter linkage right in it's face.

The gasser intake works best with a VNT.
