Lower intake manifold 95 TSI Turbo

[Krazy178]

My lower intake is cracked on my 95 eagle talon TSI Turbo. Looking for an aftermarket replacement and can't find one. Upper is easy to find. Any suggestions?

Any turbo DSM should have a 1-piece intake manifold. The only 2-piece manifold I know of is the non-turbo DSMs (excluding spyder). Is yours a turbo'd 420a model?

Yeh your right, I looked at it from underneath with the tranny out. looked like 2 pieces. The factory intake looks like the intake curl up towards the main plenum and throttle body. The intake runners on the aftermarket intakes all look straight. Would the aftermarket intake sit lower than the factory one?

It shouldn't really be lower. It may look that way due toto the shorter runners.

If you run another stock one be sure to use the bracket that sits underneath it and bolts to the block. Without the support of that bracket the OEM intake manifold is prone to cracking.

The sheet metal intakes do sit lower than the factory manifold since the runners come out straight. There is a factory manifold that is 3 pieces, the cyclone, but it's for a 6 bolt head. The regular 6 bolt and the 7 bolt intake which came on your 95 are one piece.
