It'll be a winner if the casting is improved, proven gains with good fitment. Lots of choice for the future by the looks of it. I can see a K04 manifold bench test in the not too distant future similar to the intake manifolds. Should make for some interesting reading.He told me also that the new batch will indeed have a better casting with more nickel

Bill have you never had a go at a ko4 manifold?
Yup I agree, and i hope that since I'll be running close to normal egt's and that the mani's coated that it won't crack, if it does I'll have to replace it with the new batch.
Anyway I'll probably have a couple logs and back to back dyno (if I can) to see the gains with my current setup
Any reason your going for a k04 high flow mani and eliminator over a more proven standard gt2871 and a regular mani to suit. Wouldn't it work out cheaper.
Hey Welly, just admiring your work on this forum and great to see that your in talks with XS Power who in the past i haven't given much consideration too, but fair play they appear to have a good attitude and comitment about them.Yay, another SCNer... :thumbsup:

I rang JBS today asking about availability of their k04 mani which i was told they are hoping for february so another mani will be thrown into the mix.
I'm so looking forward to your logs on this XS manifold. It will be interesting if it has the slightly laggy effect you mentioned with the 034 mani, but with the gains achieved i guess you can't have the penny and the bun.
I'm tempted to try the JBS mani just in the name of R&D but its a bit tasty if it stays at £450, The XS mani has the better collector design in my opinion and its cost is on the money too.
was that still on a T28 Bill? If so, that's epic power from 1 bar boost on an SR20!
...Only time, money, pain, and time off work will tell though...

Haha, the only way i'll be driving an Audi is if i get a charity handout off one of you rich 4 ringed fella's. You know us Seat drivers are tight ***** who like to reassure our selves that even if we could afford it we wouldn't drive an Audi based on dodgy dyno 4 wheel drive losses, even if it did mean we could drive around a corner with four wheels in contact with the road.Aye, they'll be driving Audi's next... quattro FTW! ;P

I do have some Audi experience though, my sister used drive a very nice blue 180TT and out of shames sake i used to clean it reguarly for her, fab car, i'd even have put up with the hair dresser jibes if i could only fit in it.
How much time have you had off work welly as you must have loads of holiday time unlike the rest of use lol
nissan 200sx i dynod on sunday was running an ebay, xs-power style of shiney mani... cheap.. and been running on the car for >year
did'nt glow much when loaded, flowed well enough for 292bhp from 1bar boost
Great stuff dude!!
Sorry to blow the dust off this old thread lol... but....
im going to need some work doing on my exhaust soon, before mot (s3 8L 2000 210) and would like to upgrade the mani while im on it.
