Question: What do you call a Chinese sailing boat?

All of these manifolds crack Inc genuine audi. I have had good luck with these cheep Chinese manifolds. I spent a few hours with a die grinder sorting out all the cast marks and port matching it and removing all the stress risers. I think that's the secrete.

So which parts of the manifold needs grinding, and what do you mean by "port matching"?

I thought about it, but decided in the end to go with Jonas and the Wagner cast manifolds. It probably would work, but for how long.

They don't seem to be doing them anymore, you went for a used one I assume?

I matched the ports to the head and turbo flanges. The bits that need ground down are any casting imperfections and sharp edges. These cause stress risers were cracks start from. Even genuine audi rs2 manifolds crack and have sharp edges. It's very labour intensive work as you could spend a half day grinding and polishing these away.

Thanks I don't mind doing that tbh, considering a genuine RS2 mani costs 5x more, and as you said, just because it's genuine it won't crack.

Where did you get those parts from?

[hunker7]

Before you open the box, you may wish to exchange the Topran box for a better brand, just sayin........
