In high temp applications the material changes properties.... so its discolouration is not unusual.. You can see the appeal of ceramic type coatings.

No pictures at the moment of the K04 - as soon as there is I will put up a post in our section
That is just discolouration with the high temps from the exhaust gasses
Here was mine after 7500 miles (on K03S pushed to the limit)
You do not know how many times we have seen that happen to the cast manifolds!
That's just a hairline crack
Not at all, this will cause the gasket to start blow which in turn a lack of power

- and the bolt behind it to turn to case-hardened cheese, causing it to snap off in the turbo.
I see, didn't notice the crack came right up to the flange face
All the cracks on my turbo are all inside well away from the sealing faces.

my evo turbo exhaust housing had lots of hairline cracks that were not on the sealing face and it lost 40bhp at the top end!!! changed to a later spec one with a better material(inconel content) and the power returned so it's not always the case.
One on my motor ,SNAP
That looks better than bills! Lol
(I know it’s a totally different application) I don’t know much about manifolds but where the pipes meet it looks a lot more progressive! On bills it looks like there fighting for the same bit of space! Is bill going to shout at me now? That looks better than bills! Lol
LOL
1.8t is not same fitment as Evo...
ones sits in front of engine one behind.. kinda makes things tricky for clearance..

you never heard of xs-power manifolds?
crack tastic... but for the price give it a go and let everyone know how long it lasts before cracking on you.
