so yeh, no skin off my nose :)
your cooler doest look that small... its all about how it works.. size is't eveything.
mines about the same size as yours.... and supports well over 450kw at the wheels....

the manifold is cleary theirs, no custom builder is going to make one of that design
the old "custom" manifold is actually the newer ss autochrome design
here is the ssac manifold

it is NOT symmetrical
as for the other "custom" manifold
here it is

you're not getting a custom kit, you're paying WAY too much for an ssac kit. I'm sorry, but that's how it is.
I would suggest you get your money back for them blatently lying to you about it.
Did they hone and bore the block when they did the internals?
dude SORRY i didnt read that you are building your engine , but i am sorry i aint sayin it to dis you but it sounds like your being takeing for a ride cos all of the manifolds you have shown are either ss autochrome or obx brand manifolds that can be fould on ebay , oh and there are more than one model of the ss autochrome manifold , alll we are trying to say is be carefull , i have been there i didnt by a kit i bought pieces from here and there and ended up with appears to be an ss autochrome manifold, but i bought my turbo direct from turbonetics in the states so i have warranty and know it has been built well, keep us posted as to wat it goes like as my motor is out of the car and wait to be put in my gsi , i am keen to see wat it goes like , but i have to spend around 3000-4000 grand on brakes and suspension upgrades before i would be willing to drive the car with my turbo motor in it ,

well it looks like im jst gonna have to finish up on my install, show u the stats and my run time to get rid of these rumors...
*sigh*
noone is telling you it's an ssac manifold to put you down or anything, we're trying to warn you about getting ripped off. Someone is sellign you a lower quality product and passing it off as their own, and you're going to get shafted because of it. Do you think it's purely coincidence that both manifold you've posted look EXACTLY like the ssac ones? That the turbo clearly says "XS POWER" on it, which is the same company as SSAC? That the wastegate is clearly an SSAC wastegate? You're the one spending tons of money on this project, you should be watching out to make sure you're getting what you're paying for.
well said saxman
