Re: Intake manifold

The answer is no.  None of the 8V Audi 4-cyl cars have the proper
manifold for the 16V, which has crossflow heads.  The Euro Audi 80
Sport 16V intake manifold will fit the VW 16V engine, but the throttle
body opening points in the wrong direction due to Audi's logitudinal
engine orientation and thus won't work.
