You will need a L8 ecu and have it converted to run 8 inj, buy a loom from Ryan @ carlooms uk , aprox £450 ,
You will need the correct throttle body if it hasnt got it fitted ( good luck finding one of them ,lol, ) then a cooler with the same size pipes , the correct size boost pipes and away you go

Then your 4x4 TB will fit , BUT , total waist of time having a 8 inj manifold that flows as bad as a 4x4 std item

It will bolt on and work in theory with the correct management, and as its a 4x4 cover you can use the standard throttle body instead of the larger 500 one.

Would I use it, no not with those brazed fuel rails and a fuel transfer pipe between the rails that used to be the oil line from a 4x4 turbo, its an inferno waiting to happen

You would be better of just using the standard 4x4 cos inlet and a set of largish injectors and a decent chip from msd etc

its not worth running due to needing an 8 injector ecu and loom..if you realy wanted to the cheapest way would be to run a sub loom from a cheap 8 injector ecu and run 8 dark blues but as said above a good chip and 4 55lbers are as good..

You could always pair the injectors outer and inner so you only need 4 drivers of a std ecu, just a bit of loom work then, but pointless.
