Hmm...  i plan to run a straight pipe as well///  where do i start that from?? right after the turbo or after the "C" clamps??  and i wana do a 3inches setup...   will that be a problem on 1.6TD mkII??  like not enough space or not enough back pressure???

[TedV]

on diesel the straight pipe starts at the turbo outlet.  Problems in fitting a 3" pipe is the size.  Quote from the shop that did my 2.5" on the Mk3 TDi " 14 years doin exhaust and I aint never put no 2.5" pipe on a VW..."   :lol:

back pressure is the DEVIL!!  :wink:

[Torchd]

So u mean i can do a 3" straight pipe??   and what do u mena by "back pressure is a devil"?

U mean its good??

[TedV]

some folks on here have run 3" from the turbo all the back, so yes you can do that if you can make it fit.

I watched the movie "Waterboy" the ther day,  "It's the DEVIL!!" was stuck in my brain.  Big pipe= lower back pressure, turbo's usually don't like back pressure after the turbo.

make one man. . . $60 in bends, $18 4-bolt flange, $20 flex pipe, 6-18 beers and like 3 hours.  Plus you get to say you made it!  I did 3" turbo back, side exit before the rear.



Good luck, and have fun

Thanx man!!!  

I live in pakistan...  so i cant get the flange here... i reckon i'll have to get one made...

so a 3" pipe is an easy fix.. aye??  like there is sufficient room in an mkII TD?

Sweet!  
I am getting some mandrel bent tubing in today from UPS hopefully, and I already have the flange, so i'm gonna get the mig welder out and go to town.  Hopefully I can make something decent.  I gotta get a flex coupler though.  Right now I just want to get the downpipe on so I can drive the car.  Right now I just have hot exhaust coming out the turbo!

[speedy]

I take it that flex fit thing eliminated the doughnut type thing? This might be something to think about considering I can't get mine to seal....

What is this doughnut type thing of which you speak?  I don't have anything like that.

I was at the exhaust faricator yesterday.. the turbo back flange cannot take the 3 inch pipe as the hole on the flange is about 2.25 inches... if i do get it welded.. i wont be able to tighten the 4 bolt on studs...

i really wana go for the 3 inch setup.. so i was thinking of either geting it tappered from the turboback end or going for the 2.5inch setup.

Guyss.... how can i go for the 3 inch setup.

[jimfoo]

Taper it to 3" as soon as you have room.

Where can a person source the flange that bolts to the turbo?

I plan to make my own downpipe for my 1.6td, as the cast down pipe has a few holes. I thought about making\cutting my own flange, but it feels like too much work.

i ran 2.5'' from cat back and my muffler actually fell off and i didnt put anouther one back on because it wasnt any diff in sound not loud at all.. i just put on a brullen muffler on as it almost time for an e-test here so i need to pass but i put the muffler on and no change!!! same
i had 2'' (stock) i did install 2.5'' as i heard was better for flow, motor was just overhauled so dont wanna push it to much yet but soon i will see if the exhaust did anything......hoping it will as it cost me a bit of coin!

from ATPturbo.com part number ATP-FLS-032 worked for me.  2.5" pipe at turbo outlet, opening up to 3" as soon as I could.
