Im pretty sure there wont be much gain over a ported standard manifold. (I think Bill has logged both)
It just wont crack and looks nice!

+ 1 if you ask me , mate on mk4 golf had one , benefits where slightly better throttle response and slighlty quicker intial spool but for the money for me not really worth it , looks good though
 
no power gains bolt on.. slightly faster spool which I would attribute to their 1-4, 2-3 collector split.. but does a k03 type unit need faster spool?

excellent quality of casting however.
 
Yer spools silly fast anyway. Bill has anyone made a tubular manifold for ko3 units. Or is their a cheaper better option to the High flow manifold? Just wondering. I would like to try out a cheap eBay one for a laugh if they do one.
 
IIRC there are some cheap k03 tubulars on ebay.
If they are anything like the k04 ones you want to be very carefull it hasnt been warped during welding.

think for k03 turbo waste of time , but as for big turbo (gt28) bolt on with k03 manifold fitment i would defo invest in a custom tubualr manifold, the problem is balancing money v gains , a good tubualr manifold would cost £600 and for that you looking at hybrid turbo money so why buy a manifold which will get you max of 10bhp from small turbo unit like a k03/k03s turbo

yeah been to 3 shows now since respray had lots of people ask what turbo you got back there as all you can see is the jbs logo :p is a bit of a bugger to fit but i bought it from robdon £250 other wise would not of bought one
