OK, news....
034 are sending out a replacement manifold for me.... The ceramic coated one this time.
I am still in 2 minds as to what is best to do with this really. I'm not personally convinced that ceramic coating something which is fundamentally flawed to fix the problem will work.
I've booked off Weds and Thurs next week to do the work, so I've got time on my side to decide...

Well fair plate to them, that is good customer service at least. Why would you say the coating is fundamentally flawed?

Will you be porting the OEM manifold before it goes back on?
Must get the dremmel out to my OEM one for when the time comes!
Just a thought, it is not uncommon for the oem one to crack....ive seen 2... isnt the porting going to weaken it further....
hmmm good luck with it anyway
Does porting make much of a measurable difference though, would you say its worth doing? Also mine has had a torrent of abuse and is still solid.
Is the ported one cracked on the inside or just an imperfection?
There are a couple of small internal cracks mate, yes. But nothing drastic. A cracked K04 manifold looks like the first photo of Bill's - that K04 mani is cracked!!
Hmm i see the links alex, but no pics, odd....
How does it feel compared.. First impressions?
I am trying to work out whether to skim my mani or port an OEM one for it?
I might just buy the tsr
theres no way im forking out that kinda money for a K04 manifold
