This setup was developed both as a replacement for cracked OEM exhaust manifolds and as a strong, primary foundation for tuning and turbo upgrade projects.

Note: This manifold is designed to retain OEM EGR functionality where applicable. Installation on vehicles originally equipped with EGR requires proper connection to the OEM EGR system by using v-band to EGR adapter. Failure to do so may result in non-compliance with emissions regulations. This product is not intended to disable or bypass emissions control systems.

About the kit

• Cast exhaust manifolds made from AISI 304 stainless steel (5 mm wall thickness)

• Universal fit — works on both left and right banks

• Each manifold features two symmetrical independent V-band 1.75" outlet ports:

  • Each v-band outlet is sized to support approximately 300 hp per bank, providing sufficient flow capacity for high-performance applications.

  • Flow capacity is based on internal cross-sectional area and real-world turbocharger operating conditions.

  • The second v-band outlet:

    • Designed to support OEM EGR system integration on vehicles originally equipped with EGR (adapter sold separately)

    • On vehicles not equipped with EGR (market-specific variants), the second outlet may be utilized for auxiliary functions such as exhaust pressure control or instrumentation.

This dual-port configuration allows maximum flexibility for integration with both OEM emissions systems and performance-oriented configurations where permitted while maintaining balanced exhaust flow.

Possible Installation Options (components not included)

• 90° elbow to OEM turbo (please check Transfer Pipes, available separately)

• Pipe to relocated or upgraded turbo

• Quad-turbo configurations

• EGR piping (adapter required, sold separately, EGR piping bending is required to fit new flange height)

• External pressure relief (e.g. when using OEM turbo with larger compressor)

Once installed, the cast manifolds are built to last.
V-BAND connections allow upgrades or changes to top-side components without engine removal.

Note: Pipes, elbows, and flex joints are not included in the kit. To connect the manifolds to stock turbochargers, Transfer Pipes and a PCV suction pipe rerouting kit must be purchased separately or custom fabricated.

Can be used as a base solution (requires 90° elbow + bellow from the supplied V-band flange to the stock turbocharger) for both Touareg and Phaeton V10 TDI exhaust manifold replacement, left and right
(OEM: 07Z 253 033 / 07Z 253 034, incl. revisions).
