rhd manifold for garret

[PhilW]

Pagparts mani on a golf gets my vote, cheaper than the other as well if you wanted to save some money.

Boost factory sell the snake mani which is pretty nice as well.

Wilko, I have a Full Race Manifold which is being fitted this week (with turbo + external gate etc). Mr Brockbank is doing the mapping the week after in fact.

I'll put some pictures up for you as mine is going on my MK4 Golf. Bit of a reference for you.

Hi steve. Your car goes in today doesnt it. Good luck. Will be interested to see your finished result compared to my Ibiza.

 

[ibizacupra]

VF34 vs GT28RS



Full-Race vs Jabba
internally gated vs externally gated

going to be interesting

 

[pj1985]

And mk4 golf vs mk3 ibiza tolerances bill.

 

[ibizacupra]

weight a factor between them.

tolerances?

garrett vs IHI

 

[pj1985]

Handling,braking etc aswell. Talking general package really. Steves car is v.nice and will be even better with the kit fitted.

what sort of price is a full-race mani? just so i can compare with mine

 

[pj1985]

$1199. Look very nice and quality seems good from what I have seen. Proof is in the pudding though! Fitment for ibiza would be an issue I think.

$1200-$1300 depending on which model

Looks a little home brew compared to the tigart

 

[h17och]

i thought he was having a custom one. but now relize its a us company.

heres what standard my mani should be done to....its some of their previos work.

BUT over twice the price

 

[m0rk]

bespoke means you pay for their mistakes for each time they get it wrong.

Full-race quality is way higher weld quality compared to any tig-art I have seen to date.

I have a couple of manifolds headed my way, full-race and a custom one suitable for rhd garretts

 

[ibizacupra]

Full-Race

compared to Tig-Art (guys)

which 'looks' the better?

 

[m0rk]

hmmm - good point... those weren't the quality of images I imagined when I posted that.

 

[ibizacupra]

full-race are back purged, root weld and capped, where the other is not full penetrated and not back purged I dont think from the ones I've seen.

both are heavy as lead tho

hooches might be made from similar materials an gauge as mine was, so lighter manifold probably.

Thanks ian. usefull info.
I need to strip it first before I commit to anything, as £50k down the road of the money pit, I am averse to throwing money at it, unless I have to.

If the mrs wasn't preggers again, it'd be gone, and the money I drop into it each year would easily pay the finance on a 997S and the finance to replace the 330d with a new one. Or maybe just a gt3.

Problem is is that the glof is a flexible practical car when it works, and I still grin when I drive it. Hopefully it'll be something silly, but I must admit that I like the look of guys manifold. Don't know what the biggest turbo it will take though?

Any news on your car, John?

Dave, It's fixed
Leak between r32 tb and manifold adapter plate, and plate and manifold. Probably been leaking for months, and just got bad enough to hear it.
It's smoother and quicker than ever

I think I'll stick with this one for a while now.

I'm really glad to hear it was nothing serious.
