ALH Manifold on 1Z/AHU

[PDXGraham]

NM dumb question

 

[ToddA1]

You planning on replumbing your intake tubing?

[PDXGraham]

i am trying to figure out the best way to do FULL EGR delete and it seems the ebst way i assume is to modify the mani and cut off the EGR

 

[PDXGraham]

can someone ID this manifold? is it a simple bolt on? its listed as a AHU inlet from a seat

 

[ToddA1]

No info on the above. I'm running a PD intake and home made race pipe. I'm going back to an egr, though.

This is what you want. Pd130 intake facing the drivers side. This is how i did my egr delete on my 98. If you know a welder, that would be a plus to make the race pipe. Otherwise, you'll have to find one for sale or fab your own.

I have that same intake, and a race pipe off of UK ebay.. works great, except the race pipe diameter was bigger than my boots

there are literally a dozen or more options, most of which are modifications of some stock manifold or another. some are easy to fit, some require major intake plumbing modifications

if you are looking for bolt on: the one you posted or something like it from Europe is plug and play. there are a few variations of 1z/ahu/aaz manifolds. also the PD or SDI manifolds with a race pipe as mentioned

if you can weld aluminum or know someone that can, your imagination is the limit when it comes to modifying what you have or something that is readily available.

here are a few part numbers and links you can look up and see whats out there:

just look the part #s up on a google image search or on ebay to see whats cheap/plentiful.

Sorry for opening this theread but does a AGR Intake manifold (038129713J)fit a ALH. On my intake manifold i got a stripped threads and wanted to change it so my friend has one but its from a AGR.

As far as i know, yes it will bolt on and any aftermarket for an 8v TDI will asl well.
You mean EGR?
The intake manifld has threads only to mount the EGR and im assuming thats whats stripped?

Swap it for a PD130 or PD150, its a direct bolt on and deletes the EGR or you can bolt on a EGR easily and an adapter pipe.
Or you can buy the performance one from Kerma!

If you just need to fix the threads on the back, drill and tap them bigger or helicoil or timesert it. Another good way to fix it is with Alumaloy braising rod, all you need is a stainless steel brush, the rods, a propane torch and some practice.

I would not delete the egr valve. I got a new one from mahle 2 months ago becouse mine was leaking. You dont get any power and a light on the dashboard from my view and i rather stick with cleaning it every year or two then having that.

Also today i went to take the AGR intake manifold from my friend it costs me 0$ and a used one i saw on our market for 60$ so i will stick with this one. Is the difference in power gain big between a AGR and ALH intake manifold.

Could i been having less power thil now becouse i was driving it without a bold where the egr valve and intake manifold connect ?

the int man i got today

EGR has nothing to do with power, only taking some of it away due to oil and soot mix but its soo small that it does NOTHING measurable. Now on a power build, thats a different story.

a PD150/130 would have been a better option here. work is the same.
