Most people on the list ditch the 4-1 manifold for the superior 4-2 VW
manifold. In the U.S., this (4-2) came on earlier A1 cars (up to 1981
Scirocco).

Since you are in europe, you should be able to get the superior euro
version of the 4-2 manifold. It has stouter studs than the U.S.
version. This must be used with a good down-pipe. The factory GTi
downpipe associated with this manifold works well.

If you need part numbers, I can supply. A junkyard may yield good
results on these parts.
