Another exhaust manifold option for stock setups.

[diagnosticator]

I was browsing the ETKA and noticed the exhaust manifold part numbers are different between the AMB and the Euro BEX 1.8Ts. The turbo is also a different PN, but that aspect is not as interesting as the changed manifold PN. Now, I wonder if I can order the BEX manifold somehow. I imagine it would be a better flowing manifold than the AMB part.

[manhertm]

Is there anyway to get specs on the BEX manifold. Maybe an AZ member across the pond with a 1.8t can answer this. Hopefully it's not just a change in turbo location or anything like that. You should check eBay UK for a used BEX manifold diagnosticator.

Would it be worth the hassle when atp and 034 already have high flow mainfolds for our cars???

[texasboy21]

^Yea bc they break are known to be difficult to install and OEM is always awesome

1. Find BEX manifold
2. Purchase
3. Gasket match, port and install
4. ???

If you give the part number I can check how much it would cost through the Finnish Audi club's spare part channel.

As for the turbo, the BEX comes standard with 2 intercoolers and a K03-078 turbo. Severl other mods as well like the injectors to give it 190bhp.

You can order one from any company that imports OE Euro parts like Greg@DTH, ECS, or even TMTuning. They do look to be rather expensive new ( around $500 from what I've found). Used on eBay.de or eBay.co.uk would be more affordable.

BEX exhaust manifold is PN 06B 253 033AH, Thanks for the lookup!

That manifold looks like a side-mount turbo with an external waste gate. Definitely not a direct swap for a 1.8T

don't try it through ebay, cause you don't know what you're buying and maybe full of cracks..

Port shape is wrong also and to far apart.

Unfortunately I don't have a pic of the BEX manifold to compare.

Thanks for your effort posting, but the linked manifold is for a diesel, not the 033 AH BEX manifold.

I don't know. My guess is that it is a higher flowing version of the OEM stock AMB manifold, I'm hoping to find more info soon.

Yep, looking......

That's a good tip, I will ask..

ah, sorry man, i tried. :\

[FORCE_FED_DUB]

NP the part number you provided is just under $400 from ECS and takes about a month to come in.

[diagnosticator]

Don't feel bad, I really appreciate your post despite the error :>)

OK, I found a BEX exhaust mani on eBay.co.uk, I have an inguiry with the seller. I will update here when I hear back....

[FoRbAnNa]

Any news on the manifold diagnosticator? Did you buy the one on ebay?

[sandspeed]

How much? I have several friends in the UK that can have it shipped through USPS if you are willing to wait a week to ship or so. How much does he want to ship it to the US?

[Bische]

any update on this?

Here are 3 pictures of the ATP High Flow Eliminator Manifold beside my BEX manifold.





Unfortunately my ATP cracked and I am running the BEX manifold again so I cant get any measurements for you guys.

[Bische]

hmm cant see any pics, but i found one mani at my junkyard $150

[Bische]

hmm there was actually alot of them at junkyards here, from $90 and up

[Bische]

thanks for the pics!!

so the bex has larger/equal runner inlets than the ATP, but tapers to the collectors from what i can see. Your turbo must spool alot faster with the BEX mani right?

no need on the ATP mani

Spools pretty quick alright and from logging holds my boost all the way to redline (7200rpm)

[Bische]

when does it start to spool and when do you see full boost?

[davkav]

starts to spool at about 3500 and hits full boost at 4500 if I remember correctly. Ill take note of it later and see what way it spools.

[Dan[FN]6262]

this is interesting and awesome. the BEX manifold looks worlds better than the ATP, and I bet it won't crack.

[Bische]

full boost at 4500rpm? i was under the impression that a 71r elim with the ATP mani would give full boost around 4000-4100rpms? and with this smaller BEX mani it spools slower?

[texasboy21]

I want! I love the OEM upgrades, I wonder what this will do with a k04 or elim

[a4darkness]

Very interesting.

that can't be right, when I had my elim, I always seen full boost at or before 4k rpms...

[texasboy21]

^^Yea, Dan seent it lol
