Yipeee New High Flow manifold
MR.DHL arrived today with my new 034 Manifold, gaskets bolts etc..
Here are some pics of the Manifold, having never held a manifold in my hands before i was quite excited, its pretty fricking heavy, i am not sure of the build quality as i have nothing to compare it too, it all seems in check apart from some scaring around one of the branches, i am not sure if this is the normal from the casting process but i will shot 034 an email to confirm.
Not sure if i am the first to have one of these on SCN, haven't seen anyone else with them, i am itching to get in on the car.
Also ordered Delphi 440cc injectors with spacers, so just waiting on my CR Hybrid, Timing belt, clutch and water pump now and the built can start.

If anyone would like close up pictures of any part of this manifold just let me know.
Money shots.

From the pictures, the casting on that mani looks alot better, smoother, is it coated? I didn't think JBS has a K04 mani out yet.
The guy that specialises in 1.8t is off on holiday, it will be 3 week before he can start work, still this gives me some time to find someone that can map this for me, i think a trip to the UK might be on the cards for this.!
its not coated, think this is so the heat can get out and keep the exhaust temps down.
it comes out in a few weeks but i have a early production one to try on my car with the vvt map. hopefully get it fitted next weekend. then jbs are going to tweek the map.
It must be killing you looking at all them parts, waiting for it to be fitted. i kn ow i couldnt do it.
Hmmm, i was advised to coat mine to prevent against cracking if high egt's are reached, i didn't get it coated in the end so we will see if indeed it does crack.

Thats a great looking mani Mr Smith. Did 034 supply the gasket and turbo bolts as part of the mani price or did you buy them as extras.
Your leaving yourself open to this not being covered by warranty if your not following manufacturers instructions.
I am not even sure if this part is covered by warranty, i must check, but they put this to me as a recommended option, by using the word option they leave themselves open.
Also it was only a recommendation, like the way i recommend you should give me all your money

Fair doo's
These pieces are known to crack, not saying this one from 034 will.
I would arm myself with as much protection as possible.
The cost to remove, replace and refit this piece will be WAY more that getting it initially coated.
It's yours so your call, I would call it differently, but this is only a recommendation

I asked this very same question to 034, they could not give any information on cracking/temps/consistent temps/failure rate etc.. plus the fact they wanted me to wait 5weeks for it to be coated.
What makes them crack in the first place, i know its heat but the OEM ones have no problems, is it because of thinner walls on the mani?
You might find your OEM one is cracked TBH.
There are many potential causes for cracking, this is where the minefield starts.
Inclusions in the casting, imperfections, temperature extremes, movement etc
