wrapped manifolds I've seen tend to crack too :nerd:

What boost levels are you running when making that power? i.e. what's your peak?

Surely that manni should be wrapped in a basalt fibre tape or summat!?

Its bad to wrap a manifold, you dont want to keep the heat in you want to get rid of it,  big turbo car tend to wrap the manifold to hold heat to help spooling.  The best way around it would be to wrap the parts around it in heat proof sheets.

what about ceramic coatings?

Got here a little late (page 33 ) but -

Is all this on standard AGU internals? And trying not to sound like a noddy, just read in another thread that once you're car has Revo software it then can't be mapped by a third party?! My car has 'Stage 1' Revo software (to tide me over until I can afford such luxuries as a Relentless manifold etc). Would be cheesed off if I thought I was going to have to faff around putting a standard ECU back before I can have you guys map it.

I think Rhyso maybe able to confirm your thoughts on not be able to map it if been done by revo....

Some earlier revo codes locked out ECU's, but Niki can flash them back to standard first, then upload his own map onto them.

My old A3 daily drive had a revo trial locked out on the ECU, and it took Niki 2 1/2 hours to fix it rather than the usual 45mins or so, but it got there in the end and the results were well worth it :)
