    If there is enough show of hands, they will make a run & then have them in stock, but, & I say but the show of hands have to be for the serious purchaser only. It takes them a fair bit of machining for the oringal run.
    Price structure ??? the Evo set of four is $88.00. I think you'll find the standard VW ones are around $50.00
    These look the goods, the Inconel stud is slotted for the C-clip to lock into.
    Have a look around their site a as to their past achievments.
    I don't know this mob from a bar of soap, nor can I guarantee this product.
    Only to say if all of us put together don't have a go we will never ever know.
    Also to say that going by the reponse I got from the other post included above, there should never be a complaint about loose turbo bolts on a Polo ever again.
    There I've said my bit, now bite me.
    P.S. Me was SOBA at the time of writing this post.

    LIST.
    Guy_H... set of four.

    Where are the lockers going to lock onto???? i understand the concept which is indeed good but on the manifold there is nowhere for the lockers to lock. Am i missing something? Ive pondered studs for a while now, i know studs are a fix on many applications along with locknuts. Im keen to know more. I had a set of "locking mechanisms machined up and in theory they were tops but in practice fell a bit short and would have most likely have worked on a 4 stud pattern.
    The above looks great for a flange application but not sure about the top of the Polo manifiold
    Like i say keen to hear more

    It jams up against the manifold, have a look at the jpeg, you can see it better in that.

    I dont think studs would work , getting them on tight onto the turbo will be hard .

    Anyone had issues with the kinetic/atp/o34 manifolds and loose bolts ?
    Its funny this really is only an issue with Polo GTI's !

    Yeah, had it on the ATP on my A3. The bolt that came undone was in a hole that had cracked. Didn't find that until the engine came out some tim elater, I just tweaked it up all the time.

    Nup.Ive looked at the Jpeg, how can it jam up against the manifold on a Polo????? There is nothing there to jam it mate. Pics shows a manifold granted but nothing anywhere near like a Polo

    Agreed, still, have had an AGU Golf go loose. Only other ones in the VAG group ive seen were older TDI like the 1Z Audi 80 and 1z/AAZ Golf 3, so yeah really now is pretty much isolated to the Pog now

    Jimmy, doesn't the Polo manifold have a couple of raised fins between the stud locations that could also act as a stop. Besides the development of these depend on a show of positive hands before it goes any further. This mob in Drummoyne (Sydney) will need a manifold to be able to work it out.
    Hooroo.
