    Where can I find reconditioned inlet manifolds?

    I need a pair of inlet manifolds for a 2007 A6 3.0 TDI. Can anyone recommend a good place to purchase? A recommendation would be preferable to buying randomly on eBay. If you have bought reconditioned ones, were they a success? I'm also in need of a pair of throttle bodies and considering...
