I was told AMS used to run the Magnus before they put out their VSR.

All of this "who is running what" really does not say much. A back to back test would be nice. But testing is rare sadly among tuners which baffles me. If you have a great product, do a back to back test and prove it.

 

This is correct, the old intakes had a weak weld that has been recognized and corrected by the Magnus team.

The new Magnus intakes are rock solid and are very much worth it even on a stock turbo. I noticed a difference immediately and the cost was fair as well. I've been running and old version of the intake for a couple years with no problems at all, making between 26039 psi.

 

How could we run a VSR intake prior to even making one?? LOL

AMS used and tested all the intake manifolds out there before designing, testing, and offering the VSR.

Bottom line, the VSR works. It does exactly what it was designed to do. And lets not forget the quality of the manifold and its fabrication. There is a reason you dont hear about the VRS bursting at the seams.

I'm running it with my 50 trim and love it!

Go with AMS, I have used both, wouldn't be disappointed.

 

Not to add to the fire, what about the full-race manifolds. I was also wondering about this very topic you cant leave them out of the race.

 

I would not class the AMS VSR as being too exspensive when you compare it to the likes of the hks kansai or the jun one.
I myself went for the hks kansai as I was told it made 15bhp more than a ams vsr.

 

How can you be sure this information is credible?

 

Because it came from a very credible person who wont gain profit by me going for any of those makes.

 

based on design and quality of work i dont think youre going to be upset with what you buy, its true, what they say: you get what you pay for

 

What does this comment mean exactly? Not to Take away from anyone accomplishments, as John Shepherd and Martin are both close personal friends of mine, and have done amazing work.

Magnus is a small company who have been delivering performance parts to the industry for over 11 years. We focus on hardcore performance and racing.
We prefer to rest upon our laurels. I let the racers market our products. I will show you what we at Magnus and the racers have done, whom we are proud to help out at any opportunity we can.

All these of these great racers choose to use Magnus engineered products on their cars.

Thats just a snippet of the list of 6,8 and 9 second racers.



All of these guys have relayed their experiences in racing back to us, which has helped us further our designs.

I feel like I'm writing an oscar speech. But i stress that all these racers with track proven results have made us what we are.




Thanks boys!

 

Good point!! I still remember when you took a band saw and cut a 7 bolt in half to try to figure out some crankwalk issues. Magnus is among the best and the results speak for themselves.

 

Awesome talking to you on the phone today cant wait to try the race version of your manifold

Now about those French girls and strip clubs up in Canada you kept talking about

 

Hope you get that soon enough
