Since this is a 1.6, I moved it out of the TDI fora,
and into the general fora..

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.
is there certain yr??

I've heard digifant and corrado ones are good.
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.
