Exhaust manifolds better than RS2

[audiman]

I know that there are lots of different manifolds(custom) ones out there, but im looking for something that wont cost the earth and also provide decent power gains once mapped.

What are my options?

SQ?? wth modded turbo flange

Well its not cheap, but it does come with a K26 flange if you want, so that your turbo will fit staight on. You will also need a different downpipe.

Tom,

try here then click the UK flag, then performance parts and then the engine category

[audiman]

guess the reply to the enquiry comes via QST,

not cheap, but worth it, i need a bigger downpipe anyway

Rob,

I have one of those in the above link, you'd need a custom downpipe made up for it though.

Doug and I are using RS2 ones

Mark is running the MTM one as above

Both mine and Dougs EM's have some small cracks around the collector where the turbo bolts on, but they are working fine, none are leaking.

We are both looking into upgrading tho soon, we both want to break th 500bhp mark

Mark,
Do you think stock rs2 em is safe for 360 bhp , cos I dont realy wona get any more power out of rs2 , I only wona get rid of that laggggg..
thx

ps. I am bit slow typer, thx Tom.

Doug and I are running them at about 400+BHP and they arent giving any problems, they have a limit of about 440bhp so 360 will be fine

I'm using this : http://www.krbtrading.no/v1/s/bilmerke/audi.html
Cost is ~1500 euro. Needs a bit of work : Downpipe, oil and water pipes has to be changed, but it works

Here's a video of a car with same manifold and turbo as mine : http://www.krbtrading.no/v1/m/KRB-Brems01.mpeg

Cheers,

What country is that from??? Also what WG can be used on it? Stock one looks like it wont fit. Also do you have any problems with the inlet to the turbo for fitting the MAF etc, I need to see some more pics of it installed please.

I have made enquities to Albert from Poland who posts occasionally regarding EM's and IM's that he manufactures. Cost of EM is £400 - £500

He has not got back to me with pic of inlet manifold or price yet.

It's sold in Norway, but made elsewhere, don't know where.
It's made for a Innovative Turbo Systems WG, but I modified mine to accept a stock one. I'm using aftermarked system (DTA P8 Pro) with MAP instead of MAF so no problem to make everything fit. A bit thight, but MAF fitting should be OK. Will post pictures as soon as possible.
