[Damoegan]

Don't forget to admire the ingenuity used to make sure it didn't get bent in the post.

I'll make sure there is photographic evidence mate

Hopefully get the manifold this week sometime

No joy with the meeting Alex, it has been postponed till Tuesday for various reasons

 

[cupra.al]

bloody hell another weekend of worry for you then.
lucky you with the manifold did you go for an ina mani?

 

[Damoegan]

Yea, tell me about it mate

Yep, INA mani

We are off to the pub for a few jars to help make me feel a little better

Are you fitting that Newsouth gasket and 2 normal gaskets or just the Newsouth one?

I got one [AMK Fabrications version] and it says it doesn't need any other gaskets?

 

[cupra.al]

have a good one mate.

Just a NewSouth power intake gasket.

The other 2 are for the exhaust manifold, Adam..

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Yeah I know I saw the round ports

Just wondered if the IM gasket was ok on its own as I've seen other people use a standard gasket each side of theres

 

[iulian06]

Quick pic I took today

[Damoegan]

NewSouth power gasket now fitted

Will report back on how it performs later..

 

[truss]

[Hartosh1]

'Not fitted' haha How easy was it to install mate? Did it require any fluid draining?

Typo now edited...

No fluid draining required, Steve. 10 bolts to remove on the mani pluss the hose clip on the throttle body so you can take the IC to throttle body hose of (just off the throttle body), to allow a little more movement to get old gasket out and new one back in.

All in it only took 55mins from me deciding to do it today to getting the tools out to putting the tools away

I'll do some logs tomorrow to see how it performs

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Will be interesting to see how much of a difference it will make. What are you thinking? Even if its -1 degree less intake temp then that's good I guess....
