GT Spec Headers fouling std sump
Bit of an odd one this...
Tried fitting my GT Spec headers (2nd hand but from Lateral) today and they wouldn't fit as the fouled the Sump at the front passenger side (below the dipstick). Do I need a 2.5 sump or twin scroll or something?

Subframe issue was addressed with an good old Irish Screwdriver - the sump issue however couldn't be sorted on the spot so I'm back on std headers for now.
Do the Twin Scroll sumps give better clearance?

A few weeks ago i bought some equal lenght headers for my Bug, these too fouled on the sump so replaced them with some RCM headers.....these also had the fouling on the front of the subframe issue like you guys, as mentioned a bugger trimming the subframe with the headers on!

If I'm remembering correctly you can actually remove the subframe from the front of the Bugs (Spec C's never had one).
I know about the re-map which is the most annoying part as we'd already switched the turbo before fitting the headers so it's going to mean 2 re-maps!

Drive was pretty good until I came across a whole row of cars that thought the national speed limit was 40! Managed to overtake the lot fairly easily only to come across another group, then another and another! Was only after Petworth I was able to get the hammer down and my god does it shift!
I already have some interest locally in the headers but will let you know the outcome!
