'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

Nice to see the Power Service stuff i've been using fell in the completely useless section... >:(

Looks like the FPPF stuff is the way to go since its #2 & half the cost of #1.



On a lighter note if you scroll 1/2 way down that page you will see the BEST AVATAR IMAGE EVER for user Duratys!!

The way it was all done is people put money into the pool to get certain products tested. I would assume that motor oil would work at least as good as the atf as engine oil is a lubricant with some detergents vs atf that has detergents and friction modifiers. Which basicly means better friction for the bands clutches and plates. Which is the opposite of what you want in your injector pump.
