Will a Golf 1.8T exhaust manifold fit 1.6N/A head.

[Jcolussy]

I found a Golf 1.8t exhaust manifold with turbo down pipe and intercooler with all the piping for 500.00.. Wondering if the manifold would be able to bolt up to a 1.6 n/a head?

I'm perdy sure it won't.

[gtidiesel1.6]

wont even come close to mounting

8v:



1.8t:

Cool thanks for the reply could i get the 8v manifold and adapt it to a k03 turbo

[gtidiesel1.6]

I could be wrong but i believe some AAZ mk3's came with a ko3 and with a 8v manifold that had the matching flange

You are correct but the K03 on the diesel is completely different from that on the gasser

I figured it would be a bit different.

Shamelessly stolen from Golfgtiforum.co.uk  I think they are all be for gasser engines though.

All the following turbos have the same installation dimensions and
thermodynamical performance. The differences are only in the actuator that
opens the turbine bypass valve:
K03-011 (5303 988 0011) 150 hp, 65 N actuator
K03-026 180 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-035 180 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-044 150 hp, 65 N actuator
K03-045 156 hp (Ibiza Cupra), 85 N actuator with 2 ports
K03-049 150 hp (Sharan/Alhambra), 65 N actuator

The 180 hp versions have an actuator with a higher opening force due to the
higher exhaust gas pressure (which is a consequence of the higher boost
pressure). Otherwise the valve would be pushed open by the exhaust gas
pressure.

The following turbos are a further development (since 2000) and have an
improved and slightly larger compressor while using the same turbine (still
with the same installation dimensions):
K03-052 180 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-053 150 hp, 85 N actuator
K03-058 150 hp/180 hp, 85 N actuator

KO3s turbo numbers:

KO3-052, 053 or 058 For k03s

If you look into the inlet, the ko3 has 12 fins, the ko3s has 8.
