Anyone Fitted a Powergasket? - SEAT Cupra.net

Anyone used one one of NewSouth Performance's power gaskets?

They give some good claims, reducing intake manifold temps by about 30-50 degrees f!

May start stocking them, if the feedbacks good!

Shite.. Nice idea but poor fitment and poor choice of material IMHO

It flows when tightened... and poorly matches port shapes.

Get one and have a look for yourself.

PTFE has no memory, it makes for a crap gasket unfortunately

Ive fitted one and still have it on my cupra, despite the concerns raised over the general quality of them.

I myself found the powergasket to be an exact match to the OE one,it fitted V well.
still that doesn't explain all the head bolts all becoming loose 3 months after install.

They do work, just a crap design. If you get one regular checking is advised.

mines on and fitted fine, had mine same time as Deejay

Dont think there is any probs with it, been on for nearly a year now... cant see it having any adverse affects

apart from not being same shape as inlet ports, compressing over time, allowing manifold to come loose.. Yea great product that.. LOL

Idea's good, choice of material is poor as is the fitment on both power gaskets I have.
