Sorry not sure how I missed this thread....
My Apr mani and 75mm tb made zero difference power wise as it did to a few other users!
That goes against everything we and others have been doing for years.
Small example.....as a test a 70mm DBW throttle body was put onto a K03S car. After at least 5 pulls the engine still made an additional 2whp. That is just a 70mm bolt on , no tuning , nothing.
Went to a K04-001 and it made an additional 8whp over stock.
Its known by now that intake manifolds & larger throttle bodies do make more power on anything over a stock set up.
Going from a 60mm throttle body to a 75mm throttle body + a larger plenum manifold on a stock turbo set up making 0 power? Cant really believe that...maybe 2-3whp ok I will believe.
Going from a 60mm throttle body to a 75mm throttle body + a larger plenum manifold on a big turbo set up making 0 power? Wont believe that for a minute.
To date we have sold over 120 SEM intake manifolds. That is alot of people who have been very satisfied and the reason APR stopped making the 1.8T manifold because of many reasons:
1. To do another run of 300 manifolds would not be worth it
2. The 1.8T after market is dieing . 2.0 FSI is the future and APR sees that , they would rather invest into that market
3. There are 15 different intake manifold sources on the market which clash with reasons 1 and 2.
