Wagner EVO RS Manifold from L&S Cartec.

There is quite few group buys for Wagner Evo RS (K24+T3) exhaust manifolds from LS Cartec

How much power have you gained?
Is it good for 500+ hp or better not?

Thanks.

my aspiration is 500 hp with that manifold, and I know that this will happen 'cause we build a lot of engines.
But consider it's not only one part, it’s always the whole package that makes the power.

I think 500 hp is nearly the maximum for the Wagner K26 manifold.

Better take a SQ manifold and a K27 turbo.

I have wagner manifold with t3 flange, but i'm thinking whether I use it or not... My car is running right now with tubular EM (500hp) Maybe comes a little more.. But I want more OE look. That's why I am asking, does it work or better I sell it and buy SQ manifold?

I’m on the same way. I quit my monster engine and I like it OEM in the future.
The SQ manifold ist good and we used the Audi SQ manifolds really often.
But you cannot use him for OE look.
The turbo is in a more off position and no chance for an oem airbox.
Second on this RS EVO is the housing restriction for a big turbo. That would be really better with the SQ.
And remember, you lost easy 400, 500 RPM by using the SQ to a tubular.
