I don't know for sure, but I don't think the 8V manifold fits on the 16V engine. If the bolts do line up, then the intake runner and head holes won't be a match. Car will run, but with some restrictions. Those restrictions might interfere with the air fuel mix and emmissions. The CIS air fuel setting will have to be adjusted (more rich in my case) so the car will run proper at idle, but at the various rpms where testing is done, the mismatch restriction might cause a failed test. Also, there's the heat sensor placement on the 8v manifold - might not be a match on the 16V head. If you go with the 16V intake, the 8V sensors have to be swapped over.
I'll do some work on posting the pictures later.
