Guest Tom Dimma Posted January 29, 2007 the xs engine is the same as the ax gt engine. iv found 4 branch manifold for ax's does that mean they will fit a pug? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted January 29, 2007 nah it wont, i think you'll find that the downpipe on the xs goes straight down whereas the one on the ax goes off to the left. it would fit the stud pattern on the head but you would have to cut and weld the down pipe or make your own. you're better off asking macaroni when the next group buy of the csc manifolds is going to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted January 29, 2007 I thought he said he asked them to keep a few in stock so you might not have to wait, just ask! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazRallye 0 Posted January 30, 2007 I think if you or somebody you know are handy with a welder you could persuade it to fit... Don't know if this would effect the flow or whatever though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macaroni 17 1 Cars Posted January 30, 2007 I tried to get an ax one welded to fit and the kink over the rear crossmember is very sharp. CSC manifolds are cheaper than new Janspeed ones and fit perfectly first time. If you want one, there is one in stock, but someone else was after it, so unless you're quick, you'll have to wait for the next group buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tom Dimma Posted January 30, 2007 how much and when is the next buy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macaroni 17 1 Cars Posted January 30, 2007 In the big group buys they are £177 + £8.50 postage. The next one will be around April time. I am currently waiting on a quote for 4 of them independently of the big group buy. If the price is good and we get 4 orders, we can order them anytime. I'll let you know.

Jrod 7 Posted January 31, 2007 I'm just fitting mine and have a question. I'm assuming at the join on the bottom you only push it in far enough so the gearbox hanger lines up and not all the way in? Ta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazRallye 0 Posted January 31, 2007 I tried to get an ax one welded to fit and the kink over the rear crossmember is very sharp. Thats a shame for me, because i've just bought a saxo vtr one that was on an ax! What was the actual problem? I have a friend who is pretty handy and managed to persuade a cooper s super charger to work on a mk2 golf, so surely this wont be too much of a task for him...

macaroni 17 1 Cars Posted January 31, 2007 I don't think the 2 tasks can really be compared... The problem is that to to get the exhaust over the rear crossmember, a really sharp bend needs to be welded in. You'll see when you start the job. It can be done, as per Sam's manifold, but it isn't an ideal solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazRallye 0 Posted January 31, 2007 Sorry, all i was saying that he's pretty talented when it comes to getting things that shouldn't fit, to fit Which Sam is this? I'd like to talk to him before the task is undertaken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
