ACK!!!! :apuke:

A short runner intake manifold would be a better idea. The GTi-R manifold is nice, but it's not a direct bolt-on for the DE. The ports are shaped differently and there are other issues as well. Quite a custom installation.

The other solution would be quad throttle body fuel injection. We have a few solutions here in The States, but no manifolds, so they would have to be custom made.

The short runner intake manifold is the best idea. There is a gentleman here in The States offering them for around $500 and $800 plus core. Also a lot of money for the horsepower gained. Again, it's one of those things for when you have done all the other mods with better cost/dollar.
