Rich,
No Audi came from the factory with this manifold.  A few aftermarket
companies make/made intakes like these (MTM, TS Tuning) and the prices
are/were in the $900-$1500 range.  It could be an Audi Sport piece
(SMS?), but I've never seen another one exactly like it. This is the hot
setup if you use a front mounted IC in an ur q, S2 or RS2 as it removes
about 3' of lag inducing plumbing from the stock configuration.
Although the manifold is a bolt-on, the IC and corresponding plumbing is
not.  This manifold is not compatible with the AAN S4/S6 cars, but they
alreadly have a good manifold design anyway.  HTH!

FWI, from the looks of it, that engine is mounted in an '86 or so Euro
ur q (ATF hyd. system, ABS).

Here is a pic of the turned around intake manifold. Anybody know what
model
it comes from? http://www.geocities.com/rictan302/IM.jpg
