Default Very nice. Equal length?

Looks like it. What about cost? It's something I'd like to do over the winter.

Default how do you account for the thermal expansion on the flange that mates to the head?

looks awesome by the way...

Default Nothing a sawzall couldn't fix ;-) Nice looking, looks like it'd be much easier to install .....

Default Very nice. how much? :)

looks like the best placement of the t3/t4-turbo
I've seen...

And the runners aren't too long and very nicely fitted together.
Also a very good placement of the wastegate on a longitudal 1.8T.
Dont like the flange to the engine though, but thats no biggie

I would like one

Default And the best part, looks like you can actually get to the nuts with this....

unlike the ATP manifold.

Default yea.... that too :)

I guess its possible to make more power with this one than the ATP also.
The "log style" is ok for spool,
but not too efficent to evacuate exhaust from the cylinders on high revs...

Default truth....

I'd do it up as soon as there's some way of handling the thermal expansion on that flange.

Default And I like that the wastegate is from the collector area....

not from the 1-2 port area like the ATP manifold
