Cracked 034 Manifold

[AudiRacerS4]

well this is my second 034 high flow manifold for my 2871r and guess what?! it cracked again in the same spot as the last one This time i think i will be going with the ATP HF manifold

[slopoke]

why can nobody make a quality manifold for the 1.8t?

[bassed]

SPA does.

We have never had a reported failure of the High flow manifold.
Please take pictures and send it to [email protected]

I will take care of it.
Thanks.

[Rhinop21]

^hooked up.

[f15046]

Get the SPA manifold. Definitely looks quality.

[t1demont1]

You have an eliminator right?

[njm23]

spa is a t3 manifold, doesn't he have a t25 flange?... spa is out i think, although thatd be a good choice.

[Wizard-of-OD]

He has an eliminator
only stock and eliminator manifold will work.

SPA has a T25 manifold as well.
Full Lifetime warranty is always a plus

Boo for no port for an external wastegate. Guess I'll have to just start saving for a T3 turbo & the T3 SPA manifold :-)

That is because most T25 flanged turbos are internal wg.

[slopoke]

Has anybody cracked the OEM manifold? I think i may just keep that and deal with loosing 5hp lol

[prey]

I'll take some pics of it tomorrow issam

That still sucks for you man, since its a bitch to remove and install it again..
not only that, its time consuming. i wouldn't put a 034 one on since it cracked 2 times for you.


good luck

FWIW, the only manifold I have ever seen crack is on this users vehicle.Not one single user outside of AZ has ever reported to me that there manifold has cracked and as of the weekend I have sold over 45 of these manifolds.

Ouchie!

[20A4Audi1.8t01]

dayum makes me think twice about buying a 034 mani now

[D's Avant]

Ouch is right, hopefully Issam will send you a new one so you can swap it out with less down time. You should be an expert by now. I know just changing the stock one is a pain.

that's customer service.
i'll still buy from 034. things happen. and if this IS the only isolated case, then maybe something is wrong other than the mani

[sean1.8t]

do you have anything supporting the turbo?

[sean1.8t]

SPA does.

stop spewing your SPA bullshit. everyone knows it's a great manifold

how does that help him with his eliminator

do you get kick backs from SPA everytime you mention them on a forum?

if so, now we know how you paid for that 2.0l, tune, and car for that matter..

i'd say turbo, but you prolly have the same deal with bullseye as you do with SPA

What the fuck is that supposed to mean...before you make assumptions maybe you wait to see outcome and how the situation is handled. no need to jump on anyones dick.

no need to be an ass

[AudiA4_20T]

[tdn]

What did you do with the first one that cracked?

[Wizard-of-OD]

Excuse me SEAN! You have some audacious statements right there. Especially audacious when we're on a forum where I personally know and have met about 30 members, and am social friends with about 5. Did it occur to you ever that some of us are a bit more grown up and have had salaries and accrued some fun debt (car) now for the better part of a decade? I've had the title for a year and paid the Audi off a year early.

Since you must know my total was 491.38 shipped for the Manifold

I also have a 04' Jetta I make payments on, I also pay my student loans that I am still accruing, as I need another 1 to cover the next 3 years of my education for yes, now yes MY FUCKING 2nd DEGREE. Go play with the kids now, you little shite. I receive no kick back from SPA or Bullseye, however I do have a custom sponsored tune by UNITRONIC, hence my boothing it at shows for them, which thanks to me led to 2 other files now being run on a ton of cars. The car is also Sponsored by STRASSE who wanted to try out a new to the scene turbo, hence the BULLSEYE, they had always used GARRET prior, crazy Canadians. So Sean is there anything else you need to know? Need refrences? Images of receipts? I'll gladly post them up if you like, but do you really want to get pwn3d that bad?

[audiness]

damn i always thought 034 was good stuff

[AudiRacerS4]

do you have anything supporting the turbo?

yes I have the stock turbo support bracket

[AudiRacerS4]

damn i always thought 034 was good stuff

dont get me wrong i'm not knocking 034 by any means...everything on my car performance wise i have purchased from 034 and have nothing but good things to say about them. i have spoken with issam and we will see how correcting this problem goes I also appoligize if it seemed like i was angry but i'm already dealing with a melted ECU engine wire harness and now this so i'm pretty stressed and it's one more thing i need to remove from the car which means more added downtime. I'm a full time college student who commutes and this car is my DD so when it breaks it also affects other things

Rough thread, Sean, Bassed isnt getting anything out of it.....

He just wants to share his good experiences w/ a quality product/company

Just like he tried to get me to go bullseye and plenty of others.

In other words, he just wants to everyone know that there is light beyond the brands that we are so used to.....and at the same time, he isnt knocking issam or 034

That sucks KY, maybe its your dump reverberating and cracking that bitch :P

"pwn3d"?

don't know how i can get "pwn3d" from my sarcastic post.

again, the post was not literal. it was meant to illustrate how much you spew out your SPA and bullseye love when it is not even needed or relevent to topics at hand
