right guys
Inlet manifold is off to powdercoaters, hate the boring finish as standard!
My question is..... The gasket? Is there an uprated one or different one I can buy other than standard..
Thought I saw something somewhere about badger5 has one...? Looked on website, nothing on there really
Let me know peeps
Cheers

Speak to Bill at Badger 5 about the phelonic gasket. Helps keep temps down on the inlet. I have one of these to fit to mine

No not yet lol. Just dropped a load of bits off for powder coating today and have been working on the engine. To be honest I think I will be going to Badger 5. He quoted 450+vat

This is the same principle but the badger 5 one is thicker and a better material. So I went for that one. Suppose they do the same thing but I would expect it to run cooler the thicker it is.

Yep that's what I paid. You get everything you'll need for that price. Once fitted and you have been on a drive you should be able to touch the inlet without it burning your hands.

Sweet just wanted to double check first
That's good its that warm cos powder coaters were unsure if the finish would remain after a drive
I'll order that next week...
