The 1.8L v6 is the K8, if you look in by the injectors to the back head you should see a stamping K8 101, then that is a K8 for sure.

Search, KL Intakes or different intakes, something like that. There's pics of all the various intakes that will help identify what you have at a glance.

You can use a K8 intake on a KL, so that may not be an accurate reflection on what motor he has.

Look at the head codes. Takes approx 2 seconds.

I can post a pic if you can't find them.
