the i promise to keep it standard A3

[alex g]

i cut the front tow hook off to fit the cooler pipes ages ago,so decided on this route , the fabric tow strap

hole to suit



pinch weld and good to go.

[alex g]

got me a aeb a4/passat inlet manifold, why would you do that you ask



large port goodness





the hole cutter i made from a magdrill that died, cuts the cleanest holes around





a little area for gradation




taking shape now



insert throttle body here

[mikinoz]

Holy **** Al, this is art!

[Water Boy]

Nice work...

[schoona]

Holy crap. That's just plain awesome!

[Jarred]

bought new intake, +1 hp

I do happen to appreciate this. Nice work, Al.

your a nut job dude! beautiful, calculated insanity!

[Mr. JLT]

Alex, Have a read of this mate and will help you with air flow and design characteristics. Cheers J

good read jay interesting about the runer positions and the lack of velocity on the floor as they call it, dont really know how far im gonna go with it but definately interesting.

[alex g]

velocity stacks



finished with the flap wheel



welded





transition

[schwartza3]

nice work al!
what's your engine code?
i thought you had an AGU as well which is equivalent to AEB in long motors.

[alex g]

yer i have a agu it was/is a little hard to find any transverse large port manifold hence the aeb one, and after looking at it its got much longer runners and a really nice flow.

[GoLfMan]

off chops... love your work!

[alex g]

stacks welded, trying to make the most of the directional flow from the throttle body.



centre of the throttle smack bang inbetween runners 2 and 3.

who wouldnt want to be air getting forced into there??
