98mkiv can do that. Of course I didnt expect anyone to read what I posted


You can lead a horse to water 10 $150 turbo manifolds or 1 $1500 manifold that flows slightly better. Yes the $1500 manifold has a lifetime warranty usually, but the $150 one has 1 year. You think you're going to replace 10 manifolds over 10 years? Or even own your car that long? It would take that long to come out even. Only reason I can see a better manifold being used is in the higher hp setups. If this is a low-hp setup, then why throw the cash around for a high-dollar manifold when you may end up replacing it for a different one? (like a T6 for instance). Its like running race gas in a stock 30 year old corolla.
