What sort of urgency is there? Theoretically there's one available here.
Here, unfortunately is a field in Southern Germany where lies a breaker BX GTI which I am slowly picking clean. The engine is almost complete with its manifold still. Let us know how you get on with domestic enquiries - see what turns up - then PM me if you're stuck. I won't be able to remove it for at least a week then there's the question of postage..

seached on 405 forums old classic car few breakers lost out on an ebay auction it got shipped of to another country. i have in fact almost got my hands on one just got to wait for a while. and i could eventually want another as a replacement for my 306 cab plastic inlet if its got the oval/round ports if the bolt patterns are the same. thanks for all replys though

Hello Chris, I will be visiting the GTI wreck tomorrow - earlier than expected - to remove the rear subframe. The owner of the car and field is worried about 'the environment police' busting him for having a wreck mouldering so close to a river, so he wants rid of it ( along with an almost complete ZX Volcane ).
I will hopefully remove the inlet manifold anyway as long as the expected rain isn't too bad. Will let you know..

as for price wise a few years back i paid £25 for a 205 gti inlet + tb+ fuel rail and an fse power boost valve off a gti-6 forum member. so its got to be in these regions.

Do you just want the manifold?Is a tenner reasonable?

Is this sorted now then? I couldn't remove the one here yesterday owing to inclement weather and now it's unlikely I'll get another chance. I think postage would have been prohibitive anyway - only if you were really stuck would it have been economic.
Let us know how you get on Chris and also perhaps something about your BXing activities?
