   I recently bought a Raceland manifold for my Mk2 saxo but it does not fit because of my oil filter being in the way, obviously meant for a Mk1.. Can anyone tell me which manifold to go for and where to get it from? If anyone wants to buy it off me then that would be cool. cheers.

   you need a mk1 oil filter, the mk1 filter thread, an M10 tap and screw and thats all I believe. Do a search for the 'How2' guide...

   Yea it is a 4-2-1 Mani.. i heard that i would have to get a completely seperate oil filter housing like a stand alone one and i would have to have it located somewhere else in the engine, and i have been quoted a few hundred quid!! but if a MK1 oil filter will fit on that would be good?!

    Well clearly its not meant to fit because you have to do work to the car for it to fit, isn't there a mani for the mk2 that fits straight on? is that better?

    well im sure the seller wouldnt say it should fit if it wasnt to fit, they made it for the mk1 but it works fine when you have changed some things, which is not hard to do. ye other manifolds fit on with no problems but at a extra added price, but there not worth spending out only on a 1.4 furio

    Yes there is....i asked Kam-Racing if the other 2 manifold which is the SuperSprint & Piper Manifolds they do for the VTR's will fit without Oil Filter Relocation and these 2 manifolds i mentioned should fit without this problem

    We believe they will fit without any modification but we are going to give supersprint a call just to make sure.

    Well tbh it might not be hard work to relocate it but i just dont want the hassle of doing that rather stick with the other oil filter and work my way round it

    Seriously, walk into Citroen parts division of a dealership, ask them for an mk1, a thread to screw into the block, get the tappet to cover the spare hole. They can even supply diagrams to swap the filters over.
    
    It's easy mate, will take 10mins or so.
    
    If you do change manifolds though, for a vtr: get a 4-1 GMC - yoiu'll appreciate the extra power on the top end as vtr's have a good low-mid power band and normally suffer a little higher up the rev range. 4-1 all the way dude, I've had both types and 4-1 is king...
