I've got a Fox manifold on mine, and I don't anything know about the Digi
TB, but if yours is a MkI you'll need to take the BFH to the raintray to
"clearance it" a bit. It's not a huge issue, but it does need to be
encouraged back a bit. (Dunno if it's the same on a MkII) Also, your cold
start fuel line will need to be tied up, it'll lay on the exhaust manifold
and burn through if you don't. And it's a little tougher to get to than
normal in its new position, as is the idle bypass screw and the coil
becomes a bit more challnging to remove. Just so you know. I think mine's
got a 16V TB on it at the moment.
