Exhaust manifold

[bigT's lcr]

Im going to buy this and just double checking if any body knows if my k04 and exhaust are going to fit as the flange is slightly off to one side
This is the original

And the one i want

question is iff your downpipe will fit.

This is the thing. Its offset to the original flange position and the flange seems to be rotated about 160° so im starting to think its for a k03s setup

Was a bargain at £80

I reckon that's for a K03 turbo

Ye all the other tubular k04 manifolds ive seen have the flange positioning the same as the oem one. Oh well...

 

[lightup]

ah yes thats for a k03s. that looks like the one i needed

I was met with similar disappointment a few days ago when I found this one on eBay.

how is the jbs quality? i read some stories on them cracking. i got a relentless pro4 manifold now but not sure either.

As far as I'm aware the JBS ones are decent and it's the tubular equivalents that often crack.

It's less than 20mins from my home at normal speed....if I had the money I would buy this. It's been up for sale on market place Gumtree and now eBay for a while.

I don't know the guy at all but I see a good deal imo and thought I would share this.

I spotted this set up a while ago as well, very tempting but out of budget right now unfortunately.

Also if opting for that lot you'll not going to be able to utilise it properly unless you stick stronger rods in and have a custom remap....things are going to get expensive very very quickly.

Agreed. 1k is just the start but this 1k would be a good investment for a nice 300hp setup and option to turn it up as they say when ready.

Its a shame about the rods really. Looks lile a good set up that

Totally, it's a bitch they're necessary once you reach that haloed 300bhp mark which in all honesty isn't hard to do.
Anything after that just requires deep pockets.

Im going to enjoy stage 2 for a while after the remap and start stock piling parts for the rebuild
