ABY Inlet Manifold choice? - Pros & Cons?

[LYT4X]

Hi Folks!

I'm looking at changing the IM on my ABY engined ur quattro rally car project but can't decide what's the best way to go. The AAN manifold seems to make logical sense for intercooler plumbing and I know this has been done by many on here. Is there any definitive advice on what's the best route to take? What are the pros and cons of sticking with the ABY manifold or going with the AAN? Thanks in advance.

shorter pipework, less lag and boost pressure holds better, what cons?

Fitment is the only real "Con" I can think of. Impossible to use it with the radiator in it's stock location.

unless you go custom smaller height rad ala jogi730/chris

True, the rad can be moved so it's at an angle, there's a few pics of it done

So, is AAN the way to go, or is there an even better route given a blank sheet. What bits do I need other than just the manifold?

And is anybody selling these???

Blanket route buy the Wagner Inlet manifold so your rad stays in stock position or buy one from Pro-mo
