Gti Or Turbo Inlet Manifold

[inferno 1]

Ive seen a few cars with the gti manifold on the turbo 8v engine, any particular reason for this? any advantages / disadvantages and tips on dong the work required to fit the gti inlet?

I think Bam asked about this a few months back.Dont think many/any would swap a 2.0L T Inlet for a 1.9 jobbie

Only reasons i can think of would be for easier Ic piping or mabe for making a hybrid out of an xu10 and TT 5th injector setup to save on loom nightmares?

get yourself a citroen xm 2.0l inlet manifold. Same as the 2.0l xsi inlet but fully cast and has a twin webber throttle body on with 34mm butterflys

The port matching is miles out if you put an XU10J inlet on an XU9 head with the injectors spraying onto the gasket ad one point where there is approx 1mm of gasket sealing a high pressure system. Mine is an XU9 head with an XU9 inlet.

 

Pipework with the XU10 inlet is easier as you can run a full length intercooler without 180 degree bends

and modify the body to fit the turbo sensers? i know where theres 2 of those manifolds

No it just uses 4 90 degree bends instead. I find fitting any intercooler in a 205 a bit of a pain really.

I personally wouldn't bother.You know the 2.0L T. Inlet is very similar to the T16:D

...its possible to fitt the gti manifold with bigger tb, than 2.0T.

(less streß for engine etc)

 

2.0T tb looks similar...but isnt it.

 

i use a dp custom manifold..with rs ic.

 

cheers

an Audi TB fits with a little modification but I dont know which one and how much bigger it is.

You mixed up some things...the Audi TB fits the Mi16 manifold.

 

A good TB for a 1.9-8V manifold is fitted to Alfa Romeos.
