Looks good lad, time will tell I guess. You deserve an "up" on the rollercoaster ride!
Arent the bolts for the turbo-mani a pain in the ring to get to though?
Do you take the head off, fit mani and turbo and slot all that in together?
And lol, sorry for all these questions, did porting the standard mani collector make any difference at all?
What is the wall thickness on the pipe used?
If its 1.5mm it simply wont last.
If its nice and thick 2.5-3mm pipe of the correct grade (321) then you might have half a chance.
welly can you let me know who you are contacting? (xs power usa?)
I got in contact with relentless performance (here in the USA) and my order for a manifold and a dpipe is on hold now since my S3 is for sale for the moment (a couple of guys interrested so im taking offers, if someone meets my expectations i will sell, im a car dealer, family business)
But if it dont get sold this month, ill process my order with relentless performance (xs power) and fit those in spring time.
Watching indeed
....and that's how rumors start.is still being sold.
I agree, he knows the situation, let him make it good now.......and that's how rumors start.
Since Welly's situation the sales of the 034 K04 high flow manifold have come to a halt. We have a few companies in the UK testing the coated ones but I am not going to disclose who , what or where so if thats what you mean by "sold" then you are certainly mistaken.
and a little FYI , 2 of our test customers "upgraded" from the OBX manifold.You all can have your laughs and have your giggles but show some respect in the process....thats all that I ask.

Issam asked me to test the last 1st batch manifold since I'm not hybrid (GT2871R eliminator). I'll be installing it this spring and I'll keep youy posted about the results. He told me also that the new batch will indeed have a better casting with more nickel
Itching to get on and fit this manifold now, I really am. I have booked off the week starting the 7th Feb to get on it and get it done.
I can't even remember how many times this head has been off now, it's becoming crazy.
tell him it must withstand 900'C temps
ye ill tell him that is there anything else i need to tell him bill
Tell him to remember how he made it. If it's any good, I'll be wanting one. Maybe. lol
ye ill tell him that is there anything else i need to tell him bill
to help him he will likely need a top section of a downpipe so the clearance to that can be made, and allowance for the lambda fitment etc.. as well as a turbo, so orientation etc. AND also remember access to do the bolts up to the turbo.
Intrigued to see what he comes up with... he might not want to make another if it proves a pig.. BUT in the event he does, mention to him it may sell well if it works well and proves reliable..
What material will he be making it from and where welded will it be backpurged during welding?
