If you fit a mk2 vtr manifold I dont think it needs relocating. But won't have a cat and fail MOT's.

I fitted a MK1 vtr mani and a vts system (mk1 vtr is the same) so it would have a underfloor cat instead.

I used this guide . Only problem I had was the oil filter was touching the mani slightly (cheap manifold). Used a clio oil filter instead and all is well.


Hope this helps

you can replace the whole system for a mk1 system. If you use an OEM manifold or a raceland (421) you will need to relocate the oil filter. But with other manifolds you should get away with using the original oil filter setup.

Thanks guys iv got a manifold and the pipe that joins to it from anthor vtr the bit of pipe has a hole for a lamba sensor so would screw the lamba sensor into that then my other lamba sensor that was after my cat just cable tie it up sum where do u think that would be okay it won't hit my oil filter so won't need moved

The manifold iv got now doesn't have a hole for the lamba on the top of it like the one that was on it before but the down pipe has it

Put the second lambda (one after the cat) inside you airfilter box or somewhere it wont get damaged.
