Now that my '13 Passat has the fix, I want to finish my offroad performance mods. I have the suspension, brakes, and transmission all completed. Now I need to add some ponies...
I currently have a GTB2260VK brand new still in the box. I am now looking at the Darkside tubular manifold. Would this be a sound purchase? I know the tubular manifold can be prone to cracking on these engines. Is the reliability/performance/cost good enough to go tubular over a cast manifold?
So far Darkside is the only place that I have found that even makes a tubular manifold for my application...
Also, can someone please give advise on a 3" downpipe selection? Darkside does not sell them separately for my application. I can only get it from them by buying a complete turbo kit. Is the Buzzken pipe a good product?
Thanks!!
