Audi Tradition is over 1K-what would be better option?genuine RS2 one or custome made tubular EM?

Wagner RS2 Evo manifold would be a really good choice.

[RustyNut]

Wagner Evo is a perfect match and an accepted alternative to OEM.

but i have spoked to people from Wagner 2 days ago and i have bin told the manifolds for KKK turbos are no available any more-only T3 flange is available-no good for KKK7200 so confused here

[irishs2]

I think you were told correctly, they dont do the KKK anymore, but thats why that ebay listing is interesting, but to verify it first as it could be old stock , or it could be a fake copy.

[piotr]

thank you very much for all your help.i will check it and let you know ;-)

There were some lovely looking manifolds available on here a while back... Custom made tubular / equal length...

i talked to Carsten recently and i can confirm the Wagner RS2 with KKK flange is NLA.the production has been ended
over 6 months ago iirc.I don't know if there's alternative solutions to fit kkk turbo on
T3 exhaust manifold.I have GT2871/KKK26 hybrid turbo and been thinking to upgrade
with holset HX40.i'm still looking bolt on solution on it too.

[Jamo]

The 3k flange is ancient any good new type turbo uses T3, It's one of the reasons I had both the RS2 evo and SQ with T3 flange on the S2.

I'd personally use a 3k to T3 flange convertor and modify the downpipe such as

That was from german ebay years ago though

Is it possible to welding old manifold or something like this http://www.auto-fachforum.de/anleitu...icht-t582.html ?

edit:
Good idea with an iron plate

it can be with no pre-heat, but cast iron (i think its grey) can not take very large temperature shock.
there is a heat control technique; back stepping your weld.
