    If you are VTS'ing it after xmas. Why not just leave it as it is for now? And get a 4-2-1 and decat on that

    Thing is though mate you will spend money on getting popping on your VTR, after xmas you will put the VTS lump in and the mani's are different.
    So imo its a waste.

    But...its your car so:
    Look on ebay for a cheap 4-2-1
    Put the mk1 mani with decat pipe. It WILL fit, I have done it never had any problems either.

    the older manifold bolts straight on, you just need to sleeve the second lamba sensor to trick the ecu that it is plugged in
    http://www.gmcmotorsport.co.uk/index...roducts_id=187
    and you also need to convert to a mk1 style oil filter, which costs about £30 for the bits from citroen

    would be easier to just leave the manifold as it is if your going 16v, much easier to just fit a 4-1 manifold but waste of money if your going 16v, and again its a waste of money to fit a mk1 manifold if your going 16v
