Intake manifolds

[Steven Ayres <comwest@well.com>]

JimA=> Is this just the port for the balance pipe or are there a pair of 
    => holes in the one manifold?  

In addition to the small split balance/vacuum port, I have a pair of 
cylindrical lugs about 13mm in diameter that could be drilled through to 
create what appear to be secondary intakes of some sort, at 90 degrees 
to the primary intake and past the split. There are airways about 3.5cm 
long cast inside, and these are what we'd have a problem flowing. The 
manifolds are steel, and to weld them up smooth would require too much 
blind internal work to be practical. I've thought about filling them 
with epoxy or something, but my engine man is dubious about having so 
much foreign material that could crack off and get sucked into the 
cylinders later. I'd be interested in hearing how you'd handle this.

But then there's the question that will probably apply to a few other 
members of the list: Does anyone sell aftermarket intake manifolds for 
T3s?
