034Motorsport Transverse 1.8T High Flow Intake Manifold

Alright, gearheads, let’s talk about something that can seriously amp up your 1.8T setup—the 034Motorsport Transverse High Flow Intake Manifold. This isn’t just another part to slap on your ride; it’s a game changer designed to replace your stock manifold without any fuss. Seriously, it bolts right in!

What’s cool about this manifold is its modular design. You can rotate the plenum to switch up the throttle body location from the driver’s side to the passenger’s side. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference when you’re trying to optimize your setup.

With a generous 1.85L plenum, this manifold is built for those of you pushing high horsepower with big turbo builds. But even if you’re still rocking the stock turbo, you’ll notice a solid boost in low-end and midrange power. It’s like giving your engine a little extra pep in its step.

Key Features:

  • Crafted from A356 alloy using low-pressure die casting, so you know it’s tough and looks great.
  • High flow and high velocity tapered runners that help your engine breathe better.
  • Large low-profile airhorns paired with a smooth plenum interior for killer airflow.
  • Angled runners and an indexed throttle body position ensure a snug fit and optimal intake routing.
  • Stealth mounting bosses for those looking to add nitrous or methanol injection down the line.
  • Compatible with stock or 80mm throttle bodies, giving you flexibility.
  • No need for extra vacuum manifolds—this comes complete with vacuum provisions.
  • Available in both large and small port configurations.
  • Developed in collaboration with GRAMS Performance, so you know it’s been tested and refined.

What’s in the Box:

  • 034Motorsport Transverse 1.8T High Flow Intake Manifold
  • Vacuum port fittings
  • Vacuum port plugs
  • Copper sealing washers
  • Plenum-to-runner gasket
  • All necessary hardware for installation

Fitment:

  • Audi A3 8L (180HP & 225HP) 1996-2003
  • Audi S3 8L 1.8T (180HP & 225HP) 1996-2003
  • Audi TT 8N 1.8T (180HP & 225HP) 1998-2006
  • Volkswagen Golf 1.8T 1999-2005
  • Volkswagen GLI 1.8T 1999-2005
  • Volkswagen GTI 1.8T 1999-2005
  • Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T 1999-2005
  • Volkswagen New Beetle Mk6 1.8T 1999-2005

Runner Balance:

  • Runner 1 - 290.42 CFM
  • Runner 2 - 289.22 CFM
  • Runner 3 - 288.90 CFM
  • Runner 4 - 289.17 CFM

Notes:

  • It’s a direct fit, but you might need to tweak some covers and hose routing. The throttle body position is a bit different, so you may have to modify the inlet hose for either the stock or our 70mm upgrade.
  • The small port version is the same as the large port and can be bored out if you want to go bigger.
  • Make sure to torque the plenum-to-runner bolts to 7nm or 62in lbs.
  • This part is meant for racing and isn’t street legal, so keep that in mind.
