Doesn't that hose fitting come off and is able to get bolted on top that manifold?  Seems that is how I have seen it in some places.  Then a curved pipe is on the top of the whole thing.  In fact I think I have one somewhere in the spare parts bin.  I will look, photo and post if I find it.

That's from a quantum, you should be able to move the inlet, or install the normal 1.6td inlet

Hose fitting can be take off, but it cant be mount on top.

Thank you for information that it came from
quantum or passat in europe.
I plan to put intercooler in my golf so this might be a good choise for it becouse i dont plan to put hotpipe.

Can you see my confusion factor?   This one has a plate on the side but an elbow on the top.  They are interchangable.  Actually you have four options for where the intake can go on this.

I no longer have need of this so if you would like it send a PM with an offer.  And yes I do have the black blow off valve, I just didn't put it on for the picture.

You could always drill out a large hole and 2 small threaded holes on the top and then just move the fitting up and make a block off plate for the original mount. It would be pretty easy and probably faster and a lot cheaper then tracking down a new intake.
