I bought my Raceland Manifold last year from Kam Racing and it didnt come with a Gasket so I wasn’t sure whether the standard OEM Gasket would be suitable.
As Manifold Gaskets are so cheap anyway I ended up buying a new one from Volksapart which was specifically for the 6N2 GTI.

I prepared the manifold with Heat Wrap and removed all the unnecessary bits which are aimed at the 6N 1.4 then took it to my local garage for a fitment quote.
The Guy who I know there had a look and said that the Gasket that I bought won’t be suitable for the Raceland manifold, he said I needed to find the correct gasket because the OEM Gasket wouldnt last 5 minutes.

I just wanted to know if he was right? and if so which Gasket would be suitable?

Any of you guys got a Raceland fitted to your GTI and if so which gasket are you using?

Cheers

Your standard gasket will be more then fine! If your unsure just get one machined up. Wouldnt cost to much

Yeah I was thinking of getting one specially made and fortunately my dad could do that for me but I wanted to know what everybody else had done. There are a few people on here with the Raceland's fitted so I want to know what they have done.

Standard one will be fine dude thats what i have used it lines up perfect, the guys talking nonsense i reckon! Mines perfect and doesnt blow so all is good!

Cheers mate
I thought it would be alright because otherwise the Raceland would come supplied with a gasket. Thanks again
