I upgraded my 2007 GTI 2.0T FSI to GTX2867R Turbocharger T25 with internal wastegate; unfortunately that I am running the GTX2867R turbo with the ATP T25 exhaust manifold which makes terrible spooling and timing issues. :thumbdown:
In order to get the maximum from my turbo and hardware setup, the tuner recommended replacing the ATP T25 exhaust manifold by a high flow one that can fix the terrible timing and spooling issues happened because of the ATP exhaust manifold.
I thought that the APR exhaust manifold will be plug and play and I will just need to adjust the air intake and downpipe locations as I saw many people speak about that. So, I spent long time looking for APR stage 3 exhaust manifold but I didn't find. :iono:
I looked for for an alternative one to be connected directly to my GTX2867R Turbocharger while keeping the T25 housing and the internal wastegate. I am targeting the maximum 480HP (maybe more) from my GTX which for sure not achieved now because of the exhaust manifold limitation.
I found the VF Engineering T25 Exhaust Manifold which looks very similar to the APR one. :thumbsup:
More over, I found the Wig-art tubular one too which look amazing too. :clap:
I think I will go for the VF Engineering T25 Exhaust Manifold and I will postpone the Wig-art for another upgrade!
I hope the terrible spooling and timing issues will disappear when I use the VF Engineering T25 Exhaust Manifold and hope will be the same performance of APR one. :bow:
