Title: What New parts would you advise
Post by: oceanic-green on 06 February 2014, 12:11

I am having a new Beachbuggy Turbo k250 fitted, with a Badger5 ported manifold and an R-Tech supersize TIP. I am going to get a new manifold and downpipe gaskets too, but what else would you advise I get for this. i.e. new bolts ect. Thanks

New manifold nuts, banjo washers, and possibly new studs and bits for the turbo, turbo-manifold gasket  :cool:

Yep should be. I would invest £60 more and get that performance inlet manifold gasket. Its ment to stop the heat going from the engine to the inlet so keeps temps lower. Think its called power gasket by new south performance. If you have an agu engine code then you have the large port if any other then its small port

Sorry, but I am a bit confused. Are you suggesting getting another gasket for the inlet manifold that is on the front of the engine? As I am only having the other manifold ported which the turbo goes on. Are there any performance gaskets for the manifold which I am getting ported?

Yeah, I just found a thread about those gaskets and apparently they are not that good because there have been reports of them cracking. In the same thread there was a mention of someone on MK4 forums that made some better ones, which some of the members from here did a group buy of.
