Thanks, a quick run last night down and back to make sure we had no fault codes for boost leak...

It felt much quicker in throttle response and pulled great. "Snappy" would be the word :-) Gary will be doing tests to compare before and after on the VAG. It sure does look sweet in the engine compartment too :-)

Just for comparison . . .

you can get the manifold Extrude Honed for $400-500. Don't know what the TB would cost though.

Current Retail prices are...

$850 for the manifold and & $550 for the TB.

I am also anxious to see what the vag test are for torque and hp.

Also in a few weeks Dahlback will have there four wheel dyno in place and we will do dyno work to quantify the exact gains with various other bolt on mods. This story has just begun, hang in there it will have a happy ending :-)
