Does anyone have any spare PP decals? I needs one badly. 8)


Send me your address Dale and I'll send you some stickers.

As for the vnt15/17 pipes, 3" is too big for that small of a turbo, due to the small market I doubt we will ever make a downpipe for a vnt15 in a mk1, unless you guys want to get a group buy going.

If you go too small on your turbo charger selection like a vnt15 or 17 and than you go too big on the exhaust side of that small turbo you will actually INCREASE your exhaust manifold pressure instead of reducing it like you often do when increasing DP size.

These downpipes will be ready for production in the next week or two guys!

how do you get more  manifold pressure when increasing the size of the dp?  can you explain?  thanks! i will most likely be running a vnt-15 on my m-TDI and need a DP soon, as it's nearing completion.

This only happens when the turbo charger is sized too small for the engine, like a lot of turbos used on diesel engines. The reason is that exhaust post turbine can expell quicker than it can exit the engine due to the small turbine, the downpipe can move more volume than what is capable of being pushed though the tiny turbine and the manifold pressure increases.

Any updates?

Are they being produced yet?

Thanks!

TurboHans;

 I think that post you quoted is an old one, and he is still going to make them. Try calling him with any of your questions.
