36 IDF on a 1.6 8v?

[Golfer_76]

are there manifolds out there for an IDF for an 8v or would i need to get something made up? is it worth it compared to a DGAV or another down drought weber?

They exist but most people would run side draughts.

[Golfer_76]

are there single manifolds or is there only twin manifolds?

[Peter Jones]

Chris Preen owned a single IDF manifold once upon a time. It got sold with the motor it was on to go into a cabrio.

[Golfer_76]

so im guessing that single manifolds are either really rare or they get custom made by someone?

[Peter Jones]

Performance manifolds for MK1s are all rare second hand. Only slightly easier to find brand new.

thanks for the help pete. really appreciate it. just asking because we've got 2 floating around out in the shed and thought it might be good to put one to use. i might keep my eye out for one but for the time being ill just stick to the standard carb or a different weber.
Cheers. Tim
