Calico
Coated Rod Bearings Set $79.00
QED is pleased
to offer these +.001 ACL race series bearings.
OEM rod bearings
are great quality and suitable for 98% of 1.8T
applications,
but once you start getting over 500HP and 8000RPMs
It is time for
the increased clearance these bearings offer.

QED just
purchased a large quantity of sparkplugs so we could offer competitive prices
to our customers.

CNC PORTED
1.8T CYLINDER HEADS
The stock Mark
IV 1.8T cylinder head flows fairly well in stock form, but when power needs
increase a ported head can show significant gains. QED
heads are CNC ported to the same specifications as the “master” head that made
716HP. Careful bowl work, well thought out throat porting and an optimum valve
job result in greatly improved airflow. An almost 100cfm improvement in intake
flow over a stock Mark IV small port head can be achieved. Please see the flow sheet.

Intake Manifolds
The
stock 1.8T intake manifold is a pretty good design, but was made with mass
production and stock power levels in mind. There are several manifolds that
solve fitment issues and improve performance.
Stock Big Port
Transverse Intake Manifold

VW didn’t offer an
transverse engine with
a large port head in US,
but did in elsewhere.
I imported these
manifolds to offer an easy
solution for those
swapping AEBs into earlier
cars, or those putting a
large port head on
their Mark IV. Passenger
side stock TB $ 339.00
Ross Machine Racing
Intake Manifold

Ross Machine offers an
excellent, versatile
manifold. Made from precision CNC’d parts,
this manifold is
available in small and large
port versions and allows
location of the TB
on either passenger or
drivers side. It comes
complete with the
excellent RMR fuel rail. $799.00
Turbo Exhaust Manifolds
The stock 1.8T exhaust
manifolds are actually nicely designed and quite effective. However, it is
designed for the miniature K03 and K04 turbochargers. In order to take advantage of the power
available from a larger turbo a different manifold is necessary.
ATP Cast Manifold

ATP cast iron manifold
designed for T25 or T3, T3/T4 turbo applications.
Will work on any 20v 1.8T motor.
Applications include VW Golf/Jetta IV,
VW New Beetle, Audi TT, Seat Leon,
Audi A3, Audi A4, Passat, and Audi S3.
Hi-temp cast iron 1/4" walls
prevent cracking under severe heat.
Precisely drilled for head studs and
threaded (8mm x 1.25" for T25/GT28R/RS
or 10mm x 1.5 for T3/GT30R/GT35R) for either
T25 or T3 inlet bolt patterns. *
Cast with external wastegate flange,
but can be blocked off with blockoff flange
for integral wastegate setups. Specify T3
Flange or T25/T28/GT28R/GT28RS Flange" $385.00

Application Notes:
Volkswagen 1.8T transverse engine configurations.
Manifold designed for standard garrett 4 bolt
T3
sized turbines with either T04S, T04E, or
T04B compressor housings.
T04E compressor housing can be
clocked with the outlet facing upwards or
downwards.
T04S compressor housings must be
clocked with outlet facing downwards.
Designed for use with TiAL 44mm waste gate
only. $1199.00

Available for the following applications:
'97+ Audi 1.8T 2wd and 4wd

Full Race Spec downpipe for Audi vehicles with
the 1.8T motor. $399.00
Tial 44mm V-band
wastegate

347 Stainless Steel
Alloy is used for valve and valve housing.
High temperature silicone Nomex reinforced
actuator diaphragm.
17-7 PH Stainless Steel actuator spring gives
consistent pressure at high temperature, resists "relaxing" at
temperature to 900F (483C).
Nitronic 60 Stainless Steel is used for the
valve seat, and valve bushing the same material used in the higher level gates
for reliability and longevity.
CNC Machined 304L 12mm thick weld flanges.
Low Cost.
100% made is
Color anodized 6061-T651 aluminum actuator
(Silver, Red, Blue, Purple, Black).
Wastegates shipped with air fittings and
stainless hardware.
Flanges are an extra cost, they do not come
with the wastegate unit. $ 375.00
