    What to do with the EM?

    Just finished taking the top off my engine today due to an unidentified smoking problem.
    Seems I find part after part that deserves to be replaced.

    My new problem is the exhaust manifold. It has several cracks in it, 2 of them seems to go all the way through the manifold and have been leaking exhaust. Guess there is no way to save this manifold.

    Been reading a lot of threads about the subject and there's a lot of different oppinions regarding exhaust manifolds.

    Problem is; I need to get a new manifold, but don't wanna blow my entire budget on a new RS2 one. But I also don't want one that gives less performance than the one I'm replacing.
    So.. What should I get?

      well,as i said before,im replacing mine with a new one from Audi cause i need to be sure of parts warranty therefore going to be paying a bit more than normal just to be sure.Supposedly my EM is ok,and im only having gasket leak as the leak sound seems to be leaving after a while of driving due to heat expansion.As soon as i take the EM out and have it inspected i will post some pics for people who are interested.Im already getting requests for my EM (RS2).

        Damn.. Too bad I missed that group-buy.
        I might consider one of these as it seems that 034 has a lot of the other parts I need too.
        The new manifold and some extra welding to my head seems to postpone new rods though. Where did all the money go?

              I've ordered one to. Hope production isn't too slow.
