[Mk2] [Turbo] Will a 7 stud manifold fit a 9 stud head?

Post by toecutter »

My rev 2 turbo has a cheap stainless manifold fitted by P/O, it has cracked.

Want to fit a standard manifold, I have a couple from my old GT4s, but they are both 7 stud, rev 2 head is 9 stud.

Will a 7 stud manifold fit a 9 stud head?

I Wish i was :D
i understood their was a difference in the gaskets,and stud pattern after the guy who swapped my rev2 head for st205 wanted a rev 3 gasket and manifold,so i assumed the manifold would be different too.
Wasnt expensive at the time,and besides,i changed it earlier in the year for an Apexi one.
