    What's the deal with aftermarket manifolds for the vts,do all of the advertised 4 branch manifolds for the vts fit all years of the vts???

    I just seen one on ebay which states that it only fits the early vts because of the oil cooler or something like that.

    Can anyone shed some light

    Cheers

    So am I right in thinking that any vts 4 branch manifold will fit either the mk1 or mk2 vts with no issues at all.

    This gets on me fooking goat

    Just seen this on ebay

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIRENZA-CI...item2a322ef493


    Now this states that it fits the phase 1 vts only.....wtf???

    it seems everyone gets confused with 8v manifolds only fitting certain years because of the oil filter mod that's needed and seem to think the same applies to the vts.....when it doesn't

    Be aware when buying DO NOT get a sportex manifold

    They wont fit either mark 1 or mark 2 vts as they cant make 2 manifolds the same
    I had to swap to an 8v alternator setup to make mine fit afyer allready sending one back as the lamda sensors were in the wrong places.....

    its not funny, but this made me laugh a little.

    Its almost a joke how little attention is paid when they are assembled!
