Stud pattern is the same but it more than likely won't be shaped to fit around the charger.

depends on how close the eaton is to the original G charger. if its an awt kit you need to chop a section off the charger with a G40 4 branch - so i doubt it! - you will be able to see by having a look at how close you exhaust is now and the shape of the one your mate has for sale

It's a custom made kit and there seams to be a bit of room

The 6N manifold will foul the ARB. Look at the way the pipes runs on the Supersprint ones

so you're actually talking a g40 block with an eaton charger in a 6n?  Well that's a totally different kettle of fish to whether this will fit in a "g40" (which I normally just assume means a mk3 polo with g-lader when people just say "g40")!  I think there's only one real way of telling if it'll fit and that's to try it.
