Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Because you can?? There's plenty of small sub groups of nut bags willing to push the limits just for the fun of it all
Love it.
If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you. -
Stock internals?! I'm sure if I just browse the purchase page for a k03 hybrid my Pistons will crack.Comment

Yeah, if you read through the thread, it's not until later on he moved to forged parts.Originally posted by Rawcpoppa View Post
At the start is was 240whp on stock internals, almost 170kW at the wheels isn't too shabby for a 1.4

Not much haha. Hoping to find one off a wrecked manual. I saw one for $200 and missed it. All the rest have been a bit much. I don't mind if it's a GTI or R one.

So Lucas suggested using the stock downpipe with a high flow cat. What is everyone's opinion of this? Is there really much more of a benefit going for a bigger pipe or is 80% of the benefit going to come from the cat.

I suspect the cat holds you back more than the pipe diameter. Some guys keep the stock pipe but knock out the car totally. Car would throw a code for no cat but you can get a flash for that.Comment

I'd be interested in understanding what the power output of a stock cat vs high flow vs no cat on these engines is.

The great big MK6 Golf 118TSI tuning thread
Ive never personally seen the cats on a 1.4 twincharge engine, but have many times on Mk5 Golf GTI, Mk6 Golf GTI and Mk6 Golf R (which all appear identical) and can tell you they are a brick wall (very dense and restrictive).
On the GTI and R the downpipes actually have 2 cats - one right up near the turbo (which can be DIY removed easily in about 5 mins to reduce restriction and increase airflow) and a secondary cat down under the car. This secondary cat could be easily cut out and a new hi flowing cat welded in its place.
Surely something along these lines can be done on the 1.4 twin charge?
Pics for inspiration (my Mk6 Golf GTI)

Some pics here of the 1.4 twin charge setup: Downpipe Ø63mm VW GOLF VI 1.4 TSI TWINCHARGE (160 Hp)
Doesn't look like there is as much room as on the GTI but with some imagination, and someone willing to take the risk and spend a little money im sure you can sort something out.
Pipe diameter looks ok, could possibly be 1/2 inch bigger, but its not too small that its being a major restriction.....but that big ugly cat on the other hand.....Comment

A guy on vortex took out the down pipe and chiseled it out. It was for a beetle in Europe that used the twincharger. The pics from that thread died I believe.
Will look thru hard drive to see if I saved anything about it. The procedure didn't seem unreasonable.Comment

Brondex Downpipes look really well made. I can see that there is a 63mm and 70mm option available.Originally posted by Lucas_R View Post
Would you need a tune with this also (does it throw codes etc.), or would it be ok to "hook up" to the rest of the "standard" exhaust system?
One thing that has me confused though (as per the website), "The imitator of oxygen sensor will possibly be needed"...Last edited by ope126; 14-09-2016, 09:18 AM.MY18 VW Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition + Panoramic Sunroof + some extra goodies... (Pure White)

It will throw a code if you remove the catalyst or if you choose a catalyst that doesn't perform as the oem one does.
The o2 sensor after the cat will sense more environmentally unfriendly emissions and the car will throw a code.
The imitator o2 sensor fools the car into thinking things are ok. Another option is to flash the ecu and tell the car to ignore the error.Comment
