Title: Inlet manifold for 1.8t gasket question
Post by: jamie1989 on 26 June 2012, 16:44

I have got a spare inlet manifold which im having sprayed as we speak, However I removed this for another 1.8t and it didnt have any gasket on there?

Am I right in thinking theres no need of having one unless you put a power gasket there to reduce intake temp or heat transfer?

Power gasket really lowers your intake temp, fitted mine a month back. Before fitted it on run couldn't touch intake manifold that hot, now just warm difference is amazing.

power gaskets are over rated my inlet still gets hot.

sorry didn't read it right lol, no the a4 or passat inlet wont fit a golf as the engines are positioned differently
