I have a vt 5lt in a vq statesman
The cast iron headder part numbers are the same for the passangers side but the drivers is different vt seems to hang wider off the block due to the wider engine bay and steering rack size shape location vs the vq being a tighter fit to the block to squeeze past the bulkier variable ratio rack so id say the earler type should fit but the y pipe may foul on the full circle bell housing of vs s3 and vt autos and the vn thru vs 5lt cat flange is to the side where as the vt has duel cats off the headders down to a y pipe past the trans similar to the vs vt v6 pipe
