Hi guys
1.8 turbo
Having issue finding a.replacement manifold what's high flow for my mk1 leon
Iv had to put a standard one back on it at the moment and it's causing me too lose 1/2 bar of boost by strangling the poor thing , it was pushing 304.4 bhp and boosting comfortably at 1.4 bar before it decided to crack everywhere
The problem I'm left with at the moment is that it now just blows it's manifold to turbo gaskets constantly as the standard manifold is slightly thinner and it's just finding the weakest point being the gasket and lasts about 2 weeks and it goes.again
I no this is a common problem across vag 1.8-2.0 turbo engines
The manifold I'm after is a atp 053107
Can't find one anywhere :( please can some one point me in the right direction of another one of these manifolds and possibly some stronger gaskets???

Check out Badger5 in the trading area.

I had my standard manifold ported by them and it took a lot of abuse.

What spec turbo you running to make over 300bhp? Just curious.
