ideas?
looks like the standard cheap manifolds from germany which are known to cause cleaerance problems on G's.
the PSD one and PPP ones have a kink in the first header to clear the charger.
:(
the first header JUST makes it
the second catches the charger outlet alot
is it possible for to heat it up give it a little bend ?

this is my PSD 4 branch, the routing for the headers look completely different!
the first and second flow together
where as mine its second and third?
what the hell im i go do :(
i sure hope stainless bends well ?
to be honest i wouldn't start to bend it out the way if it fouls by quite a bit, it is clear that the manifold doesn't suit a G therefore send it back , get your wedge back and put your name down for a PPP one which is the exact same as the PSD.
hmm see the problem there is now i've had the manifold for over 6 months
has some scoring whilst fittin
and also had to chop a wee bit off the exit pipe to fit onto psd center ?
in that case it looks like you are a bit f'ed then.
looking at your pictures it seems to me that you'll need to move header 2 by a fair chunk to get it to clear the lader outlet and to make matters worse its hitting the dome rather than the webbing on the outlet.
you could give it a wack to clear it but you'll be restricting the exhaust flow by a fair amount if you gotta make lots of clearance!
hm. maby cut and shut then ..
ill need to do some calculations and see wat the outcome is..
so disapointed
Hmm bit of a dilema, will this fit on to a GT (i guess so)? If so might be worth putting it up for sale on ClubPolo and seing what you can get for it rather than cutting it about and risking f'ing it big time...
cut your losses, sell it on and get a proper one! if you are going to do it then you might as well do it properly
agree ^^ gutted tho :o
very :(
aw shizer !
well ill sell it as i bought it..
its never been runnin on the car obviously :(
hwo much should i ask for it back ?
wat manifold is best? i have psd center ? how much also :'(
TA Technix one?
To be honest if it's been sold to you as a G40 manifold then you deserve a full refund, if you've bought it as a Polo 1.3 generic manifold (hoping it will fit a G40) then I'd just try to sell it on.
Jigs are being made for our new manifolds sometime within the next few weeks. Here's a taster 8)

Cheers
Yoof
wow yoof thats really mint ;)
erm. why two lamda plugs :O?
i just took the plug out the center section thinkin i would need it for this manifold ?
ill need to check but i was positivei bought it as a g40..
i dont wanna put any bad names on sellers coz the guys been a gem .
Quoteerm. why two lamda plugs :O?
normally put a bung in the 2nd one but then it's there to put a wide band lambda into for remapping. I welded two bosses to my turbo downpipe for the same reason.
ok, so this is only for re-mapping and turbos ??
wideband lamda :|?
can to ellaborate quickly?
