Ever wondered how some of the common 1.9L TDI take manifolds compare in flow? What about (un)even flow across 4 ports for each manifold?
Some of them were finally put on a flow bench:
I would embed this interactive flow chart (the results) in this post if I could, but it will not function in this forum:
You can access the chart on this page: https://malonetuning.com/manifold-intake-1-9l-tdi
The BRM intake manifold is a good upgrade option for ALHs, BEWs, and similar, and it's available (usually at a good price) at autowreckers in the backyard of North Americans!
If anyone else has done flow tests, then please share in this thread! Love to see more data. Ideally multiple manifolds should be compared using the same testing machine during the same session.
