Default on my car
i was able to sustain 1psi more all the way up to 6K rpm. mid range you can notice the turbo spool up faster and more consistent.

it's a nice upgrade i recomend it with a K04 i did it with my K03 to test what type of a gain a chipped K03 customer could get.

Cool, sounds worthwhile. If I ever make the K04 decision, what's an extra few hundred? :-)

Default i was going to do this mod but decided against it after reading some conflicting posts about it not
helping. Could you feel the difference with and w/o the manifold?

Default i can't feel a big diffrence but what i notice is..
lower old temps, a gain of 1psi up top sustained, quicker spool up of the turbo. it seems to have a nice 4K-5K rush vs OEM manifold.
