Dang it every post you make about that vnt makes me want mine on so bad.
Someone should start an exhaust Clip thread so everyone can post up their set up and others can get ideas for the sound they want.

I want a VNT too.. I just might have to get one.. See people making 180-200whp on the 1.9 TDI's with the 17/22 combos like its easy.
Make the thread!! I've got to make some errands later I'll take a sound clip of my exhaust note 
Thread made
if I put it in the wrong section feel free to move it! Also, if it takes off, sticky that beast! And I'll forever be a part of diesel history!! Hahaha.
But what Burns me up about the vnts is that I have one sitting in my garage and a turbo motor in my car begging for boost. I just have to get all the other bits together
Mines only a 15 but id love to see what a 17/22 would do on one of these motors! Although I'd be scared to drive my 1900 lbs. Rabbit with 200whp. Haha. If I can hit 100 I think I'd be in a rocketship compared to now.
Interesting. What's it look like on the inside? Is it packed with something or is it hollow? Their website doesn't give up too much information. I'm interested to know what it sounds like on a 1.6 turbodiesel. Maybe you could post a follow-up video when it's installed.
It looks like a perforated tube inside, and Magnaflow packs with rockwool.

Magnaflows either burn out, or clog with soot..
they also crack from all the vibration..
Never had a problem with either, but I have seen rub through form scraping on pavement. Muffler worked fine after a patch welded on.
Rockwool is good to about 4X the temp of fiberglass, but I suppose you coiuld use space shuttle ceramic if your post turbo EGT is that high....

Homer if you do end up with one of these on a 1.6td please post it up in the exhaust note thread. I'd love to hear one of those not on a Gasser.

Hmmm, I was hoping to find something like that Magnaflow muffler but hollow, no packing.

Will do! I actually bought the magnaflow, but am caught up in yard work at the moment - so no install yet
Cherry bomb glass pack. I have used them on 1.6 NA, 1.6 TD and my 1.9 M-TDI. Beautiful
