Rs2 Reverse Manifold Kit Benefits?
What benefit is it to have a 'Reverse Inlet Manifold Kit' over the standard, what does Reverse Manifold mean?
Please explain. -
I would expect that means that the inlet to the manifold is reversed in order to supply a more direct induction.1990 B3 2.0 80 quattro.
1992 C4 2.8 Avant quattro
1994 MTM RS2.
1998 B5 TDI quattro Sport.
2000 B5 TQS.Comment

Bo has the reverse inlet fitted and said there was a noticeably decreased spool up time, of course if you're fitting a bigger IC at the same time this will be counter-balanced to a degree.
Its definitely one to do on my list!S2Forum.com AdministratorComment

general rule is that if you fit a bigger intercooler on an existing ECU map,you basically helping the car bring cooler air into the system,thus the map,if done aggresive(lots of iginiton timing) it will bring some benefit from it.YOu may notice it,and you may not.Fitting the reverse IM will help on this route,but the best results come after you remap,better even after a bigger turbo(if you dont already have one)Comment

Which remap do you have on your RS2?
If you stick a Wagner IM on it as it stands you would possibly notice a small power increase and would notice the turbo spooling up quicker and being more responsive.
As PapVas and Bry have said, you have alot less distance for the compressed air to travel and thus heat back up (after its just been cooled in the IC).S2Forum.com AdministratorComment

This kit can't be measured in terms of power, it's about reducing lag and also reducing the chance of the charge air intake temperature from the turbo
This kit is available 24/7 but as the offer was for July only I don't know what the price is.
Maybe Lupo911 will be kind enough to extend you the offer?Comment

and the piping doesn't go over a red hot turbo.
