Are they motorsport type of bosch right? Why didnt you go for siemens? To old fasioned? -
My manifold is made of mild steel, jig made of the china manifold so flange location are exact same. No problems with cracking, this have been in my UrS for quite a long time wrapped and have got some serious abuse. Only problem can be corrosion/rust, but I didn't look under the wrap.
Old jig:

My first diy manifold... made back in 2010... still going strong.
PS. If someone has the stainless china manifold, and it has cracked, and you need a replacement for it. I could make you an mild steel manifold with the same dimensions. No need for intake/dp modifications.
One example of a sold manifold:

Intake manifold was cleaned of old paint and ultrasound washed. It got a new thin layer of heat resistant black color. New EV14 injectors found there place. Engine is now finished and waiting for install. Started to strip the UrS because I need the flywheel and clutch from it...

I too had one of those ebay manifolds on a S2 avant but with standard turbo. Seemed to work well for the money. My car had the manifold, turbocenter Stockholm chips, a 3" exhaust inkl downpipe built by me. Alot more responsive than a car with standard mani.Leave a comment:

That is a nice looking B4!
Good to know about the manifold, seems to fit well.

Made a custom bracket for the alternator. As I don't need the aircon compressor and steering/brake pump it would have been diffucult to use the stock AAN brackets with the belt tensioner. So I made a simpple bracket with an old style manual tensioner.

Thanks guys, I also tried to find pics of S2 with that stainless manifold from the forum, but couldn't find any. But it seems that it will fit the engine bay, that Nick's manifold looks quite the same in size and flange locations. The turbo is a tiny little piece.

it looks like my manifold but it is not a ebay one so normal it's doableLeave a comment:
