   would the alloy rallye inlet manifold fit a mk2 vtr? if it would how hard would it be to fit and would there be any performance gains? cheers

   Not unless you've changed the head on the engine. Rallye inlet will only fit the earlier port-spacing on the head (black top vtr or <2000 silver top).

   how sure are you because i'm buying one for my VTR?
   
   and he claims it's a straight fit except for the idle control valve

   they dont fit the 98bhp ones the port spacing is all wrong.
   
   and many people are incapable of getting an engine running right with one aswell.

   About this sure;
   
   
   
   (My VTR engine btw)
   
   Straight fit on a <2000 8v head - other than the idle valve, the TPS wiring, the throttle cable and the fact you're 99% likely to need it mapped to work.

   What are the benefits of having that inlet manifold?

   i thought it was just ecu,cat roller rockers that were different.

    I'd agree with this... bought an inlet manifold from a 1.6 8v 1999 engine and it most certainly doesn't fit my engine, which has different port spacing as it's a 2001 engine.
    
    Anything pre-2000 has port spacing like this:
    
    oo oo
    
    And anything 2001> is like this:
    
    o o o o
    
    If that makes sense...
