Golf V6 4Motion
Hi All;
Following the success of the 172/182 thermal intake gasket sets I was contacted by mini-valver to help him on his K4M project.

Due to his (as many of you know) mental throttle body setup we were able to produce a 3mm PTFE thermal intake gasket for his car which he will (hopefully) be leaving feedback on shortly. :clap:
Apologies for the crap photo !
Obviously we now have the CAD drawing for the gasket so are able to produce them for any other K4M owners but first we would need to trial the gasket. mini-valvers was a one-off special at that thickness due to the throttle body setup - of course anybody can have at that thickness or upto 5mm, though 3mm is best all round value for performance/money.
I predict using the std inlet with std studs etc will mean a thinner gasket (on the 172 setups for instance we used 1.5mm and 1mm gaskets) but ideally we need somebody willing to trial fit and confirm thickness for us.
We would supply a series of plastic gaskets (non-ptfe) just for trialling purposes, generally 1mm,2mm,3mm and there abouts. In an ideal world we want a direct replacement gasket (like the 172/182 versions) for the OEM version - i.e. no additional filing down of the inlet to make room for a thicker gasket, but of course the thicker the gasket the better it can reduce the heat soak.
If anybody would be interested in helping us trial the gasket ranges to find a suitable thickness then it would be appreciated and we may be able to come arrangement on price, etc for that person. drop me a PM.
Once the thickness has been confirmed we will be in a position to produce these in a similar format to the 172s in the For Sale thread and at a minimum order of about x5 get them at a very good rate.
thanks in advance and have a good weekend
