I just received this 10V magnesium five cylinder audisport intake manifold from Waldemar.   This piece is really interesting in many ways and I want to showcase some of the more interesting things about it and how it plays a part in the development of the 10V motor which did so well in World Rally Competition.  

The first notable thing is that this is 100% cast magnesium and the entire thing weights only 7 lbs and 10 ounces.   That is less than a gallon of water.  

I was pleased to see the threaded mounting holes for two pressure taps and the air temperature sensor which is between the two taps.  The throttle body is a surprisingly small unit.

the inside of the runners are very smooth. 

The mysterious throttle body with what looks like attachments for 3 cables.   Without an airplate the air metering of the Pierburg CIS system must have been accomplished by using a pair of throttle cables which actuated the plunger in the Pierburg fuel distributor.  Both linked one would open while the other closed; operating much like an airplane control linkage.   With this the Fuel distributor was mounted behind the firewall on the driver's side in line with these cables.

The two counter-acting linkage arms. 

Note the CIS fueling lines and the two throttle cables running to the Pierburg CIS fuel distributor.
