Don't expect any performance benefits from the Dialynx manifold.  There are 
around a hundred now installed on UK club members' cars (I have one) and the 
early problems seem to be well and truly solved.  Dialynx have a good 
reputation for standing by their products - I don't know of anyone in dispute 
with them about anything.  As (I believe) a direct consequence of Aelred's 
success, Audi (UK) have dropped the price of the OEM manifold by 35%.
 
Just recently, David Sutton (Historic Motorsport) announced he was disposing of 
all his old ur-quattro and rally quattro material, and ordered a disposal 
skip.  Aelred heard about this, and roared up to Daventry.  He bought the 
contents of David's workshop floor, so I think we'll see more goodies from 
Dialynx in the future.  Those in the UK will be able to see Aelred's latest 
creation - a tweaked Sport with ca. 400bhp built for Pete Basset - at David 
Preece's area meeting on 18 August.

The charge cooler, as far as performance is concerned, is something else.  Be 
careful you don't melt any pistons.
