If you are talking about the 87 CGT 2.22l engine than it was a simple bolt
on for me.It's also the same as for the 1985 VW GTI except for the cable
attachment.
Aside my '82 Coupe (before the turbo) the intake manifold alrady had the
larger opening for the larger throttle body.
It's like somewhere else in the world those Coupes came with the larger
throttle body, unlike early VW's where an adaptor had to be used with the
larger throttle body's.
