That manifold looks pretty nice.

Could you shoot 1 more picture looking up one of the runners towards the plenum?

Anything for my 2 fans. Lol.

The money shot: AEB intake manifold gasket lined up with the manifold. And yes, I know that the gasket is not on right, I just lined it up real quick to show off the port job.


Now, for a quick update. The throttle body that's gonna get bolted to the manifold arrived. It's a Godspeed 80mm throttle body. Anybody know what throttle position sensors will work with it? Make and/or Part #'s would be great!

CNC Porting FTW!

Looks like a stout setup

My daily driver 1.8t felt like it was being left out and wanted some attention. Anyway, now that that is all sorted out, I am trying to get this project back on track.
Currently, I am in talks with Pete at IE to get ahold of some Mahle Motorsports main and rod bearings as well as some JE FSR pistons. Other than that, a while back I picked up an 044 pump. Then, I got a GREAT deal on this a couple weeks ago:


So, now all I need are some fuel lines to the rail, a FPR, and an AWIC setup. Finally, it's just a matter of having time/space to put everything back into the car.

Schhhwwweeeet.

Just went through your thread. Interesting build.

One of your post, you mentioned the JE pistons have a tendency to crack(hairline) around the wrist pin area and you're gonna use CP pistons.

Now, you're looking JE's FSR. Have they fixed that problem?
