It could hurt a bit if someone stuck it up your bum.

You speaking from experience lol?

Was just wondering if it would be a piece of crap being off ebay and it being cheap compared to other manifolds...

I'd ask them if is actually for a G40. Further down the page it states it's for a 6n Polo.

Yeah that threw me off a bit too. I've asked them that even though it says mk1, mk2 and mk3 at the top, but just to be sure....

A mk4 polo manifold will fit a mk3 polo but fitting a G40? Not sure, would there be sufficient clearance for the lader?

from opinions off people who have bought these in the past they are horrid quality wise.

most don't fit as there is not enough clearance for the lader on exhaust no.1.

save your money and save up for a proper PPP 4 branch, they are made to fit properly.

I'd second that; there are a few people with similar goods and all have problems with clearance on the charger. PPP have put a lot of effort into getting it right; you'll save money in the long run buying from them.

yup, possibly wont fit past the charger and may require an extra piece of pipe as it might be too short to connect up to the rest of your system :(
