is there a manifold off any other audi that will bolt right onto my 1.8t quattro sport that would be a performance gain?my standard one is cracked and i need to do the manifold to head gasket so if there was an easy cheap upgrade now would be the time to do it.i have seen pictures on here somewhere of a cast manifold that was like standard just slightly bigger tubing and looked like it would flow better.anybody got any info?
 
I have an 034 copy manifold, its much larger in bore etc then the OEM one and its supposed to improve performance. I have found that the engine now has a wider powerband than before as it was very peaky before.

It was 109$ from the US ebay.com

bargain price ive got the original ATP cast iron and agree with Mark.

i paid £299 for mines!
 
Oh if you do go for it they are an absolute pain to install. I ended up removing all of the top studs and then used 8x35mm socket head cap screws and a 6mm ball ended alley key to get enough purchase to stop them coming loose (fingers crossed)
