Title: who has had their manifold powder coated?
Post by: sharki786 on 19 July 2013, 14:29: As above.
Need to know if anyone had their manifold powder coated. Did you remove the injector seats on the mani? Im in process of getting mine done but the guy has warned me that the hard plastic MIGHT melt when it goes into the oven (this is the black plastic where the injectors go into on the 1.8t AGU manifold. Need to know asap.

This that i have circled
