i'd not bother with an rs2 manifold, most you will find 2nd hand will have cracks in or need work. Save your money and get a wagner. Or get a stock manifold ported like JP did on s2 forum, he got 420+ hp on one.

Thanks for the info, got a cracked AAN one. Trying to decide what to replace it with, I'd love a Hanks header but then gotta upgrade the turbo too. The Wagner ones look good but that's some cash to drop to be stuck with the k24 style flange (if mating to the stock turbo for the time being)
Thanks, Ryan

I had a t3 wagner for my urq project a while ago, it was a nice manifold and good casting. If you go with this remember you will have to either cut down some studs or replace them for rs2 exhaust manifold studs. You will also need to get/fit turbo/wastegate studs and even though wagner say its a direct replacement it does actually move everything slightly by a few mm as I found fitting one to a rs2.
