Hurdy:
JBS are developing a K04 cast manifold....

They have already developed a K03 cast manifold and ....so far...have had good results from testing...

I have a few questions for any engine guru's out there.

If the K04 manifold could produce similar results as the K03 version (50% flow increase), how much benefit would you possibly see in terms of power output?

Could it simply be that a K04 manifold strapped to a modified ED30 would simply mean that it wouldn't suffer from heatsoak as much?

Any other benefits?

bacillus:
iirc that manifold is for the mk4

chungster:
yup, they even posted a pic comparing it to the normal manifold with "BAM" on it, which was the 1.8T 225ps motor.

No point for our engines, as the manifold / turbo are integrated / 1 piece. The old style was seperate so designing a more efficient exhaust manifold for the turbo was beneficial.
