RE: New RS2 exhaust manifold warped...

I just unboxed my new RS2 manifold also and it is perfectly straight.  I 
wonder why yours isn't straight?  I'm not to impressed with the rough 
casting inside. I've spent the last two days cleaning up the runners.  It 
is looking alot better!

Subject: 	New RS2 exhaust manifold warped...

My crates o' goodies arrived from Europe recently, with them a brand 
spanking
new RS2 exhaust manifold.  Knowing the tendency for Audi turbo exhaust
manifolds to warp, I checked the manifold and found the ends are 
.015"-.020"
warped right out of the box.   Kind of odd.  So, has anyone else checked 
their
new exhaust manifolds (10V or 20V) and found this?  BTW, I sure am glad I'm
putting this thing on with the motor out of the car.  The design of this
manifold would make it a real PITA to install with the motor in the car...
Oh yeah, I just picked up an RS2 Comp. turbo too.  I can't wait to get this
thing running!
