Came across this. Looks intresting. anyone used this before or know anything about it? Its from ecs? Any help would be great!

Made from a high performance polymer Power Gasket™ conducts on average less than 1/500th of the heat of the steel gasket that it replaces. Your intake manifold will stay 30-50° F cooler and your incoming air will stay 20-30° F cooler.Power Gasket™ has been designed for affordability easy installation and no disruption to your manifold attachment and engine accessories. This means that you can simply swap your old intake manifold gasket for a Power Gasket. No buying longer bolts or installing multiple gaskets. In less than 2 hours you will be enjoying a more powerful better performing ride.NOTE: Does not fit Audi AEB Engines $54.99

Combine that with water/meth injection and you can have some mighty cold air blowing through your engine (especially in the winter :-) )

I installed this when I did my EF conversion and the car did drop a few degrees in operating temperature but I could not tell you if it improved performance as I did not do a before or after dyno.

Yes I run one. It does keep the IAT's from creeping up as quickly and the IAT's come down much quicker.

why won't it work on the AEB?

**legionvr6** · 11-24-2008 10:46 PM

probably port size.

the AEB has biger ports then the rest of the 1.8t engines

I run the 034 motorsports spacer, which is the thickest one on the market and it works great. IM is dead cold after i pop the hood. And they are available in small port, big port (AEB), and transition (big port to small port/vise versa)

They make one for the large port(ndbw) and another one for the small port(dbw).

cool, i will probably get one of these pretty soon. i was thinking about getting the really thick 034 spacer, but i didn't want to screw up my cruise control.
