Shipped both new items today to Techtonics tuning for mock up of the 2.5 downpipe for the MK1
This turbo has the exhaust on the opposite side Passenger ) so a new different downpipe must be made..
I ordered a 2.5 Complete exhaust with a Borla Muffler for the build from TT
Next: will be the custom snorkel doing a 180 degree bend back into the MK1 TD airbox, I will make a insert for the engine breather tube
I mfg ( copied ) the original MK1 snorkel years ago and they are still selling

Do you make any block off plugs about 3/4" OD for areas like the engine breather tube. I want to try blocking off the hole in my aluminum pipe but haven't found anything that didn't take up a lot of volume inside the pipe or that had a decent enough head that I wasn't worried about it falling in and getting stuck in the turbine wheel.

I'd be interested to know more about the insert for the breather tube. I ended up using high temp epoxy to seal the heater in to my aluminum intake pipe - it works but it's not as pretty as I would like.

I bought some silicone caps/nipples from 034motorsport, they held up for a few years w/o the failures I had previously with rubber, epmd I think.
