here is my 16v tubular manifold made by a friend of mine, it was completely done and we had to basically start over b/c the first construction it was so big i don't think i would've been able to cut the rain tray out and the hood so we re did it, the other runners aren't done yet i spent like 4-5 hours figuring them out last nigth and tonight, anyway here are some pics

this has 2 designs for the outer runners, the one on the left makes the manifold almost a true equal lenght but the one on the right is easier and gives more space, so i need to decide what is more important


mounted in the car

you're right it's no full race but the collector is just as nice and that's what i care about

 

is there anyway to modify a lil bit the turbo so the turbine doesnt sit as close to the valve cover?

just a tought...... or is it the amount of space only available.
never seen inside that bay, so i cant tell

the manifold is gonna be pushed back about .5" but it's still gonna be a little close to the valve cover for my taste but to move it much farther back i would have to cut the rain tray out and i really don't wanna do that

 

That looks pretty good.
Lovefab should start making these...I know Cody would sell these. I know a few guys that would love to have a manifold like mine for the VDubb.

 

manifold for vws are so hard to make, this is the second rendition of this manifold, there is so much more crap to work around on a vw than a honda and vw people in general are cheap as hell and most wouldn't pay for something like this

 

Maybe its just me but, I dont think that blue painter's tape will hold boost verywell!

j/k
