Hey guys
iam considering doing the TDI conversion on my VW T4 1.9TD abl,quite a few guys have done this on the t4forum but thought i"d put as many feelers out to gain much info as poss,my questions are what should i be expecting grunt / power wise after tuning
of coarse getting her mapped is a quick way to gain but there's more to tuning then that i also want to keep it safe EG: she"s my daily driver & get the best MPG + she"s a veggie dub ;D
converted to run on SVO/WVO
i was thinking of having the head ported for better flow the exhaust from the the manifold is all sorted "Hybrid Impreza system going into a side exit
this is the diameter of the front pipe flange(http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss34/triumph595/T4Vanmods013-1.jpg)
once cut to accept the 2.5" pipe

front pipe flange seem welded & shaped
although this was time consuming i got the most satisfaction from getting as much flow & shaping as poss with the burr bit,it really is flowed well even if i do say so myself
