As Wesley Snipes says, "Always bet on black!"
Black is the Master, but the Coils color is Red/Black so I decide to have the same with the IE manifold.

It's been a while since we discussed about this IE manifold. Did u ever get it installed?
Yeah man, I installed it LONG time ago and you can find some pics here http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=190214&page=2
And I removed it too for the time being and back to the plastic OEM one!
I lost around 40~50 hp in the low and mid range power after the installation, even if after few tuned files the issue still existed :thumbdown:
I will try it again with the new car but from what I read and heard from people running DM, APR, Revo files in many places around the world, the power loss in the low and mid range are a common issue with all of them!

Good to know. Maybe a custom tune would be best to prevent loss of hp?

I did't lose power. Didn't lose spool either. Felt a little better in the top end but that's about it.
No changes were needed to be made to my tune since it was already tuned for the rfd.

Well tuned for rfd and tuned to optimize ... lol so we will see how the car runs when I get my turbo back from FT. wastegate shit out since day one after the build. So saying I lost power was mainly because it was struggling like hell to build 24psi. it was making 21 before i pulled it and 12 after the build. I wonder how they managed to force it to make 24psi on the dyno lol. Prolly need a new tune now

I am running a custom tune including CTS RFD with DM for my GTX and the car was pull like train then I just uninstalled the plastic OEM manifold and installed the IE manifold and then the power loss appears!
I changed 2 or 3 tuned files to get the power better back then I decided to return back the plastic manifold with the CTS RFD and the power returned back!

Are you guys using the n75 to control boost? If yes, that may be part of your problem
