Speed, accuracy, and reliability defined this project. Through Bossard's Realtime Manufacturing Services, performance tuning specialist 9FF received an instant quote for a demanding CNC application — and completed delivery in just 15 working days, despite the complex geometry, anodized finish, and small production run.

The Challenge: Complex CNC Components, Fast Turnaround

9FF, a well-known name in high-performance automotive tuning, needed a modified intake manifold for the Porsche GT3. The goal: improve airflow from the carburetor to the combustion chamber with a larger inlet and outlet and a smoother, more efficient flow channel than standard parts.

The task came with significant challenges — fewer than 100 units were required, each measuring approximately 70 mm in height and 79 x 91 mm at the base. Achieving this precision for a 1,000-horsepower sports car demanded expert-level CNC programming, advanced machining capabilities, and a partner able to deliver quickly without compromising quality.

Our Customer-Specific Solution

Using the Realtime Manufacturing Services platform, 9FF uploaded their 3D data and instantly received a quote tailored to the exact specifications of the intake manifold. While simpler turned or milled components would move through a fully automated process, the intricate design of this part required direct engineering oversight and advanced 5-axis CNC machining.

Bossard’s manufacturing experts ensured that every detail met performance and visual expectations — including the final red anodized finish for both durability and aesthetics. Business Development Manager Christopher Winkler coordinated the project to keep it on track and meet the ambitious timeline.

Delivered On Schedule — and On Point

Just 15 working days after the order was placed, the finished intake manifolds arrived at 9FF’s headquarters in Dortmund, meeting all quality, precision, and timing requirements.

“We’ll definitely use Realtime Manufacturing Services and Bossard again in similar situations,”
— Jacek Dziuba, 9FF Team
