Default AVA Tubular Manifold






As in above pics £650. Retains original Turbo positioning.

Note the bling shine has changed to a almost multi coulor effect. I dont see the point in having it recoated and selling.

Additional coatings can be carried out from as little as £150.

Cost new £750 + Vat.

Its worth pointing out that it is adviseable to fit a flexi section to your exhaust system, when using a Tubular Manifold.

Fitment resulted in quicker spool up time and higher peak power.

More pics to follow.

Peak power was at 7200 and didnt drop off till 7600 with Newman cam and Throttle bodies.......sorry dont have torque figures.

Boost from 2800rpm with what was essentialy a 4x4 stage 3 turbo.

Cheers for the pm's folks.

A few people have been asking why Im selling

Just to clarify "I am not doing away with my manifold, I will be using mine on my 16V build"

This one did belong to a M8 of mine & is exactly the same.
(above pics are the only ones I have at the moment)

The turbo sits in exactly the same position as when using the standard manifold, the crossover pipe sits very close to the manifold but i wouldnt worry about it to much
