[Vwdiesel] 1.9 NA

[drew]

The 1.6 NA and TD use a standard oval port on the intake and head (the
same as is used on 1.6, 1.8 and 2L gas engines.)  The 1.9's use a
differently shaped port that is rounded at the bottom, and sqaured on the
sides and top.  It looks a bit like a coffee mug with a rounded bottom:

Note that this is from memory so I may be a bit off.  I don't know as you
would get very good flow characteristics bolting the 1.6 NA (or TD) intake
to the 1.9 head.

HTH,
