Title: VW DIESEL INTAKES (PERFORMANCE)
Post by: handedyourhat on January 03, 2009, 10:37:27 pm
Would anyone be interested in purchasing one of these performance intake manifolds to make your 1.6 or 1.9 breath a whole lot better than the stock restrictive manifold. This manifold is the new dual plenem design and will keep the airflow in the intake even to all 4 cylinders instead of consentrating the air on the center cylinders on the poorly designed stock intake ... proly be lookin at $500 canadian and I would need your manifold to work with,I can make this intake for a 1.6L TD as well. This manifold is also listed on Ebay if you need better pics...

Psssst, Dan, when you upload on photobucket there is a pane you open underneath "choose files to upload" and set it to 1mb.
Pm me if you have troubles.

I would love to...but I am already about 1,000 US dollars over budgett :cry: , so no way am I going to dump another 500 into it if it isn't 100% nessesary. If you could help me out and tell me how to make it dual plane I would have no problem building my own though. Or if you just feel sorry for a poor fellow and want to help me out in some way I am not above that :lol:

PS looks good from what I can see

that is for sure a great looking and well built intake...for me since I have the tools to build my own I would have to say no I would not pay $500 for the intake...but somebody with no tools or time to built one would..
good luck with your project! 8)

it has D-shaped ports.  it will fit the 1.6 n/a, but you might want to do some slight porting just so its not creating a lot of turbulence if you want to use this manifold.

is this one of Dave's? (935racer) with the ceramic coating inside+out ???

No, that manifold isn't coated, and I would never sell something with such horrible welding. Its a rip off of my intake manifolds, flattering :lol:

I think he is but it's too much fuss to individually ship and take "orders"
He wants to make a pile of em, sell them to a dealer like a VW import shop... or something similar.
Title: intake
Post by: handedyourhat on January 04, 2009, 01:39:03 pm
Hey, I dont mean to step on anybody's toe's but I tried purchasing one of these intakes for my ride and they could not be purchased, so I decided to build my own for my 1.9 and I did....and I gave myself a pat on the back.....ever watch the movie "THE EDGE" with Anthony Hopkins and Mr Baldwin anyway in the movie a phrase that gets repeated over and over in one part of the movie is "What one man can do another can do" thats me I really beleive this.........I dont have the Word  "no" or "Impossible" in my vocabulary.
