The argument made for trucks is the larger turbos take longer to spool up so small idle/daily driving wont send them to max boost right away.
And that a stock k03 which now is very vocal at 1200 rpm will overheat and die.

But its been fine like this for a few thousand kilometers.

Well my advice to you is you could listen to those guys trying to run a business (and the TDI folk who ... i dunno why they say that. possibly because their cars need emission crap or else they have to deal with the ECU business) OR take first hand experience from these guys who have had a straight exhaust on their TD's for tens of thousands of km.

and thanks for the heads up about the jetta! I'll hit it up tomorrow :D

you dont have a welder do you ed? exhaust clamps suck, but its not like you are running alot of back pressure to make the leaks present themselves..

No welder readily available no. I had a friend who had one and i used it a bunch but he has since found a girl and moved a town away from me. Stopped returning my calls ect. Im sad about not being able to use the welder but ten times more unhappy about losing the friend...
anyways, yes no leaks. Works well. Plus the studs hit the speed bumps before the exhaust tips do. I'd eventually like to weld it.

Curiously enough, when i had the inspection done, they said that the downpipe couldn't be welded to the flex pipe as one piece so i had to cut the flex off and clamp it on both sides...

Thanks Gnavs :)
I can't wait to fix this transmission problem and get a driving video! :D
im just worried the crappy digital camera wont do the exhaust sound justice.

it's really easy to do.
I just removed it to lengthen it by about an inch. it came out of the flex pipe when it scraped along the ground going over a steep bump. What a nightmare :(
don't lower your vw ... its just annoying.

Don't listen to him! Lower every VW until you can't drive it anywhere, then raise it 1/4" ;)
