does anyone know if the sdi intake will clear a td pump?

what are the benefits of that intake versus stock GTD :idea:

this one is completely heterosexual, unlike the stock vw one

Looks like you may be able to flip an ABA intake manifold around.

[RabbitJockey]

yeah it does, that would kind of be neat if an aba intake bolted to it.that would really confuse people that looked in that engine bay haha.  but if the plastic *** doesn't fit, i'll make it fit

[danwithagolf]

i want one for my n/a where would you find one? what motor is that off of?

[RabbitJockey]

doesn't look promising

[blkboostedtruck]

have a riser made so it lifts the plastic intake up an inch or so?
you can make that work! just use some creativity !
you could ditch the studs and drill and tap the head for the older style valve cover?
maybe a heat gun to reform the plastic to make  some clearance for the pump?

yeah i'm not worried about the valve cover at all, i have plenty of 1.6 valve covers i could stick on.  it's the pump clearance i am worried about.  a 1 inch riser may do the trick though, i'll have to wait until i have my td back though. ill measure on my dads car tho and see what all it will take.

[RabbitJockey]

also i think the picture makes the clearance of the studs look worse since i don't have any bolts holding the manifold to the head.

[RabbitJockey]

so since i have the head off my td i tried fitting the head and manifolding, it hits the pump alot, theres no way it will fit on a car with a td pump installed, you would need maybe a 3 inch spacer and then theres no way the hood would ever shut.  with an na pump it may work with a smaller spacer, maybe 1 inch or so, but it's not very promising.  so sdi intakes for us idi people has been shot down, except maybe with an na pump, does anyone want to buy an sdi intake manifold?

I do. How many clams?

IM me

[RabbitJockey]

even then i really question it, maybe a mk2 or mk3 would be a better fit
