VW / Audi 1.8T 20V Turbo Exhaust Manifold – T3 Flange with 44 mm Wastegate
Built for extreme power – high-flow stainless steel manifold for 1.8T turbocharged engines
Description:
The 1.8T 20V engine platform from VW and Audi is legendary for its tuning potential. To safely push beyond 600–800 HP, a professionally engineered, flow-optimized turbo manifold is critical – this fully TIG-welded T3 manifold delivers just that.
Constructed from durable V2A stainless steel (1.4301), with 48 mm outer diameter and 3 mm wall thickness, this manifold ensures top-tier flow dynamics while maintaining thermal and structural integrity. Its 4-in-1 collector design provides precise gas routing, reducing backpressure and improving turbo spool.
Why choose this manifold?
- ✔️ Designed for big-turbo setups up to 800 HP
- ✔️ Perfect match for ported cylinder heads & high-boost builds
- ✔️ Smooth, even flow to the turbo – less turbulence, more power
- ✔️ Integrated 44 mm wastegate flange – Tial compatible
- ✔️ V2A stainless – corrosion & heat-resistant
- ✔️ Extra-thick machined flanges – warp-free & leak-proof
- ✔️ TIG-welded seams – professional finish & vibration resistance
