so i decided to just get a hydro block, but here is what i have so far.
i got the head pressure tested and its good, but it needs a valve job and a resurface... not big deal kind of expected those 2, but for now i have to play with all the pieces haha
and the difference of the intake can be seen here with the d shaped ports, and the ports are like a straight shot down to the valve, not a big bend like the 1.6 units
and just for an informational... not everything just bolts together, the compressor housing hits some nub on the intake, so that will need cut off, not a big deal though. and the factory elbow from the turbo to the intake won't work either but thats ok i need to do an intercooler anyway. but a way around that is to put the top of the 1.6 intake(the aluminum elbow on top of the 1.9 intake manifold. which i took a picture of, since we figured that out a little bit after i took the first 3 pictures.
