Morning all.
I have taken delivery of an XS Power/Relentless K04 Exhaust Manifold for the S3 210 and 225. Basically, any car with the K04-022.
Same goes here as did in my other thread http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/102665-email-xs-power.html. I will be reviewing this, giving XS Power some suggestions on where it can be improved etc, therefore making it a well worthy buy.
Initial thoughts are good. Very well made, and nicely welded together. My main concern, as was always going to be is the turbo flange. One of the flange bolts holes would be very tricky to get to. And I mean very tricky indeed. I have a mate who is going to knock me up some studs to wind into the turbo for testing purposes and then I will go from there.
I have managed to bolt it to the turbo to mock up the fitment. All the flange holes are spot on which is a good start.
I will update this thread as things happen. Didn't have much working time last night as her indoors wanted me to watch Eastenders. Deep joy.
