dual plenum intake,yes or no

[quattro-nick]

little update
i have almost all the pieces to build my plenum intake
last weekend i have talkt to a guy which has a s1 replica with 20v turbo engine
not big horsepower but a nice car
he told me that he first drove with a AAN intake and afterwords with a s1 replica dual plenum intake and it gives almost no difference on the dyno
the torque was a little bit higher and the peak came a little faster(on lower rpm)

Nice bits to start to weld with shaking hands.

Yes alloy tig welding is difficult but plenty practice and you will be good.I'm going to go dual plenum as well I best invest in one in next couple months but will get a friend to weld the flange to runners first all best Michael

hi guys,finaly i started on the intake
first i removed the front,afterwords the intake (hell of a job,especially the lower bolts)
did a testfit with the billit intake foot and there was my first problem
the holes from the injectors on the AAN intake where not placed in the middle and on my billit one they are in the middle.
i bolt the foot on the head and made a smooth transition from intake to the head
afterwords i made the injector gap a little bit wider to the right

here i have played with the old intake seal and i can make it fit on the injector holes

almost ready for tig welding

Good luck with the welding! Aluminum is weird stuff

thanks roy

Good work

Those bottom bolts are a bit of a pain to undo. That's weird that the injectors are different, both my standard mani and billet one had the injectors in the same place.

Good luck with the welding
