Hi there all.
Some person i know owns a 206 and think's that it is possible to swap a gti 138 manifold on to his 1.4 8v TU lump. I'm 90% certain it is not possible and i just want to prove the arrogant d**che wrong. So is it possible to swap a 138 manifold to a 1.4 8v TU?

 no really not possibly
Unless you want to do a lot of fabrication that will prove absolutely pointless

No, not without substainial modification
Plus the benefits would be outweighed by the losses/effort

I don't think its possible. For a start the inlet manifold is at the front of the GTi engine, on the TUs they are behind the engine, and I would be almost certain that the spacing and port sizes would not match.
Depending on the port spacing (00-00 or 0-0-0-0) and year, inlet manifolds from bigger TU engines should fit so long as the throttle body is the same mechanism as the original one - electric or cable

There are three possibilities:
1. if you put the GTI intake on the exhaust side of 1.4
2. if you put the GTI exhaust one on the intake of 1.4
3. flip the engine

Anything is possible with the brains,time and the money, but it doesn't mean it will go faster at the end of it.

The EW engine will also be wider and the port spacing will be different. There's no reason for the design not to fit but the actual EW10 inlet won't fit.
