8v gasser t3 manifold fit a 1Z head?
« on: October 10, 2009, 08:40:20 pm »
Looking for a manifold for my gt2056v build, i seem to recall conflicting reports about 8v gasser manifolds.

Any thoughts on this one??

All the 8v manifolds are interchangable. As long as you have enough firewall clearance for the turbo.

Fits, but I had to nibble the flanges on the TDI intake manifold a little to make it fit.  About 20 minutes with a round hand-file.
