Aftermarket manifold doesn't fit!!! help!

[cupra_spencer]

hi guys i bought a manifold off the net for my ko3s ibiza cupra and the part that is supposed to connect t the turbo is on the opposite side than my standard anifold. On a standard ibiza cupra is the 3 bolt connection to the turbo closest to the right of the engine or the left of the engine when looking at the engine from in front of the car?

Its a stainless japspeed manifold. not the best i know and i know ill probs get slated for buying a £100 off ebay buy i just dont have the kind of money for expensive manifolds and just wanted something that would give me some kind of improvement

any help would be much appreciated.....

If its off ebay, then its a chance it wont fit right/flush

if you search for cupra manifold on ebay its the same as all the stainless steel manifolds on there.

its not slightly out, its a good 6 or 7 inches!

Leon ones ??? I thought you had an Ibiza ??

Line them up together. You have probably bought the wrong fitment manifold.

 

[PhilW]

Sounds like you bought a longitudinal manifold. Gutted.

yea i did the same, probably advertised as A4 / passat fitment. Will fit onto the engine, youll just need new water and oil lines and a new down pipe.

not really designed for your car

its advertised as fitting my car though!? iv sent the guy a mail and ill see what he comes back with... where else sells manifold cheap then?

"Buy cheap, buy twice"

 

[cupra_spencer]

Ill be sending this one back dont you worry, you cant advertise that it FITS A CERTAIN CAR & THEN ITS NOWHERE NEAR! (Sorry Caps)

does anyone know of any that actually fit?

The group buy has finished but im sure they have plenty in stock. Cupramillo off here is having his fitted today and rolling roaded before and after to see they gains. Im sure he'll post up later with the results.

Fits

Seat Ibiza1.8T 20v 1993-2008

Got to get myself one of those 1993 1.8Ts.

 

[ibiza_95]

if hes a decent enough guy, tell him that it fits:

Audi A4 1.8T
Audi A6 1.8T
VW Passat 1.8T

These are longitudinal mounted engines
