Got my DH intake manifold finaly! W/ PICS!!!
Well I got my DH intake manifold about 2 weeks ago. Lets just say that Im unimpressed and pissed off and well leave it at that. Im done bashing them, I just want my f*ck'n car to run and Ill be happy. Untill next year when I have a real shop build me a manifold. 
Ok, heres the pics, note the fact that theres no hole drilled for map sensor Im about to put the manifold on the drill pres now and fix that. Keep in mind that theese pics were taken after I had it re-welded and bead blasted, although it did come bead blasted the first time. Oh and by the way the TSI injector plate cant be used w/ the DH TB 
heres the pics:

Rep Power: 0 At least you received SOMETHING. I figured the whole intake manifold thing was going to be a joke. This was a learning experience for me. Never ever will I make this mistake.

Rep Power: 273 I can tell you that even at the same price it wont be good enough to work for him. even if he made it for free the amount of materials and time to do it right will be extremely costly. The stock mani flows pretty descent. you can get more out but it will take a lot of messing with. If anyone need tips on building talk to me lol I've built a few different designs for our cars so even if I don't know the best way to to it, I can tell you what doesnt work before you attempt it lol.

Rep Power: 273 trust me with thier manifolds the flow isnt correct either hehe. nah for boosted cars its not as critical but i dunno how they get by with all this hacked stuff getting sold. not fair to hard working customers that wait patiently just to find out they got a pile of crap.

Rep Power: 299 I just saw the pic and I hate to say it but the KMS one looked better in quality.
I would expect this one to perform the same way. OK for boost tho.

Rep Power: 288 Wait a sec - I just saw those pictures. How much did you pay for this POS? All they did was weld the damn injector mounting plate to a freakin' airbox. What a load of crap....
I hope DH rots in hell for raping all of you guys over, wow....
