   Bought a 4-2-1 manifold before realising that it was for the mk1 saxo. Problem is that my mk2 filter sits vertical and the manifold will not go on as it gets in the way.
   What do I do here?
   Been told u can re-locate the filter as there is already a place on the block where the mk1 filter should go an it is just closed over.
   So how do you go about closing the old one off? Any help much appreciated!!
   Cheers

   Tried foning them, they said they don't do it anymore as they have made a 4-1 manifold which will fit straight on without re-locating the filter.
