Well been playing with the ibiza today.. (day off Lupo playing.. well afternoon off..) anyhows..
Got round to fitting Dahlback inlet manifold and EVOshield insulator gasket this afternoon.
Good news is EVOshield works as well as my Jetta one did.. Stays very cool no matter what I did to the thing... significant improvment on "touch" feel to mani... it remained "cool" literally to the touch. - Did'nt do before.
Turbo and mani glowing red hot at the time, so it was some high boost playful testing shall we say.
Now the bad news which really pizzed me off.. Dahlback manifold does'nt fit Ibiza..
It sits too high hitting bonnet. Not impressed at all sorry to say. Asked Dahlback to confirm before I bought it (Hans himself) if it fitted Ibiza... does it heck as like! Going to be returned shortly.
Not what you expect on something which costs that much. Not like its nearly missing the bonnet stiffeners, it hits badly, not allowing for engine movement as well.. its a simple no go. Bugger!
Going to make my own version I think in proper largeport style, plenum radiused ram pipes and slot filling cone inlet. Oh well. Gotta try these things I spose.
