the 1.8T front mounts were the big products announced...

He probably was, but even if you had asked me, i wouldn't have told you since..
as an APR distributor we had to Sign NDA agreements. Which precludes the dealers from telling you about what APR's up to unless they want you to know about them. I saw the manifolds back in November while being trained there. They are very nice pieces, and look like they've been properly engineered.

They haven't tested anything. The SLA manifold you see has zero "time" into it.
The engineer working on the manifold parts has not spent a lot of time on it. What you see is just the first phase of the feasibility study. It's not clear at this time if they will be put into mass production. They do open the door for different turbo flange designs if customers request such a part.

not that I'm aware of
Brian from Garrett was there and spoke briefly about some new turbo technology that will be utilized in the GT line in the next nine months or so...those will make their way into the 1.8T stage 3 kits. The housings look identical (they'll fit perfectly for those of us with the current 1.8T stage 3 kits that might want to upgrade) but the wheels and shaft construction have been redesigned.
