034 Motorsport Intake manifold

[vwthunder]

Saw it on facebook a few days ago and was straight onto Gavin about it

I told him i thought it looked cheap, like the chinese ones some JDM guys use.
The power gains are not great for a small turbo, maybe if you had 400hp. I am still more interested on the SEM or the Intergrated Engineering ones

Oh and i was looking at the first post where it made less than 5hp on a stock turbo car

That's peak power mate, look at the increase under the curve and it's right across the rev range in both power and torque. For a stock K03s on crap fuel I think this is substantially better as it's not robbing power or torque from any other part of the rev range. Not to mention the peak torque increase of 16.9nm.



And unfortunately you won't physically fit the IE manifold in the Polo. It's massive even with it's short runners.

Ok looks like $90 for shipping And with the dollar the way it is we are all better off getting our own to avoid duties.

$90 for shipping of that manifold ain't that bad...

I'm sure it'd still be a good idea to grab a couple of these together, especially if a few Brisbane boys want one. They didn't seem to fussed about helping me avoid duties on the wavetrac I just ordered... The more I look at this manifold the more it appeals to me. Seems like the best option for people aiming for 300-400hp

Oh and Anthony, you sure another 16nms of torque is good for you considering the very stock state of your rods

I'm not sure what "looks cheap" about our manifold. They are low-pressure die cast, and have the smoothest, most uniform surface finish of any manifold on the market for this application.

The pictures speak for themselves. They don't need to be powdercoated to look great.

Second of all, our manifold is the only one on the market to yield dyno-proven gains on a K03 1.8T. The gains we quoted are at the wheels, with peak gains of 12 WTQ and 7.4 WHP, all on a stock turbo:



If you slapped an IE manifold on a stock turbo car, it would lose power. Have you looked at their dyno chart? It loses power on a big turbo car up to 5200 RPM, or 340 HP: IEIMVA1_DYNO - IE AutoBlog | IE AutoBlog

With an upgraded turbo setup, you see gains of over 20 WHP and 20WTQ, even at low boost levels (18 PSI) on a medium-sized turbo:



Our manifold was designed for cars making 300-500 WHP, and it delivers solid midrange and top-end gains without any losses in low-end power.

Laszlo - any news on the longitudinal manifold?

That was the only part i was worried about, might not have a option

We're revising a few things to ensure better fitment, so no ETA on that version yet.

Hey Laszlo,

With all do respect, making the claim that this manifold is the ONLY intake on the market to yield dyno-proven gains on a K03 1.8T is not at all-all that accurate.

For clarification, an independent test conducted by a magazine tested (soon to be published and issued) the competitors intake, back-to-back, with stock intake - Stock 60mm TB, K03 Turbo on a Unitronic Stage II Flash and it made 22whp.


Clearly, the results yield power gains through-out the rev range, especially up top.
