Hi Mark,

The kit for the watercooled-carb-conversion does not come with an intake manifold, as it reuses the stock VW one. On watercooled engines, the manifold air box comes off the intake and is replaced with the supplied adapter plate. Then you bolt the carb to the adapter plate.

Voila!

The intake port configuration of a Type 4 head is not close enough to a waterboxer head for the same kit to fit both if the manifold is part of the kit. There is not waterboxer manifold available from the aftermarket, AFAIK. The Type 4 aircooled manifold is available.
