lenny Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I was looking for the mk5 R32 manifolds on the millek site today and noticed that they where missing.. A quick phone call later to them and they said they have been withdrawn from sale until they have been tested further! So - I wonder if they will be producing a better product?

SkyNet Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 You loose power gain with the manifolds from Milltek... Nice to see there are withdrawn...Let´s hope for some good manifolds from Milltek very soon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have been told that the owner of milltek is in a bit of finacial difficulty since he lost a ton of money in AmD. Maybe it just costs too much to produce such a slow selling product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFredR32 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yeh spoke to Milltek myself about this some time ago. Apparently apart from losing some torque, the engine or transmission light was always coming on so they have removed the product short term untill VW sort out.

Tonsko Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Nice to see a manufacturer with responsibility. Good on 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I have a MKIV with the manifolds and I love them to bits. RS32 to my knowledge was the first MKV owner to have them fitted. He had them removed a short whil after as he had lost so much power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs32 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 AFAIK there are a very small number of MkV engines where the Milltek manifold upgrade has worked. Equally there are other cars where it has not been possible to avoid a torque loss, even with different software maps from different providers.

theshadow Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 In the meantime you guys might want to check out these headers from Harding Performance in Australia...they look pretty tempting: http://www.hp.net.au/hpgolfr32m5.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panman Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I've spoken to Guy (Harding) about these, they sound the goods. Not cheap though, and best with a re-map according to Guy. He's also promoting the DMS remap which I'd be interested in opinions of, as it seems to provide a very good performance boost for just a remap. If you are looking for them for the UK, make sure you get the stainless steel option!. I'm planning to get a remap for mine (when the financial controller will allow me to do so, she wants a new fence - selfish I say). I'm going over there in the next few days so can get some photos and more information if anyone needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrakeSnake Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Just seen this thread. Got the full system on mine. Apart from the awesome nascar sound, main differences are that peak torque is now around 3500rpm plus, with peak power between 6500 to 6700 rpm. The manifolds work great in combination with the high lift cams, top end is effortless, though there is a slightly slower pickup below 2500rpm. The numbers pushed out on the superchips dyno were around 285bhp, compared to the APS300 of about 278bhp. The dyno is a good 7% down on figures, as APS will say, so it's all subjective. Factored for this, it's about 305 bhp and 265 lbft of torque. Drives great tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 ...."Drives great tho" is what matters imo. Oh, and the awesome nascar sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrakeSnake Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 IMHO Robin, i'd have paid the extra cash just for the way it sounds, the fact it drives great is just another bonus Just wish i'd been able to save some money speccing it without a stereo... Never listen to it, just the engine and exhaust...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
