Hi Mark,

  The kit for the watercooled-carb-conversion does not come with an intake manifold, as it reuses the stock VW one.  On watercooled engines, the manifold air box comes off the intake and is replaced with the supplied adapter plate.  Then you bolt the carb to the adapter plate.

  Voila!

  Unfortunately, the required intake manifold is not included in the so
called kit. The intake port configuration of a Type 4 head is not close
enough to a waterboxer head for the same kit to fit both if the manifold
is part of the kit. There is not waterboxer manifold available from the
aftermarket, AFAIK. The Type 4 aircooled manifold is available.
