Hey cog, I took a leaf out of your book and made my own carbon airbox. I am pretty pleased with it so far. Just need to work on the way it scoops air at the front. It may look like a forge setup but it is probably 5cm bigger diameter and the filter is bigger and better also.

Thread's been quiet, but I've been busy....Water meth and EGR delete are virtually ready!
Just waiting on a certain someone to visit the post office, not mentioning any names, but hurry the fark up Preeny!
I ended up getting a few extra bits from Devils own, for as great as Snow gear is, forget any sort of international customer service! Been trying to swap out jets with them since MARCH as their kits come with US SUV sized ones....almost twice too big. Great and helpful when you actually get a reply, but be warned, it's frustratingly slow.
My QTP is now a anti shudder / runaway flap, and that's a full 2.5 " now fellas. The stock EGR flap at 1.9" is the single biggest restriction in the inlet apart from the turbo, in my very humble opinion. It's my home made "Allards" like Golfie mentioned earlier.
is the butterfly there for the anti run on? How is it operated? Vacuum?
I'll be making my own soon too

Anti-run on. Mainly for piece of mind should I ever experience "run away"!
Electric motor - google QTP exhaust cutout. Way to go.
im going to take the risk and go straight pipe.

I cant say I'd bother myself, its such a slim chance, and its an invention for the TDI clan anyway - i think theres so much squish with the IDi engines that it will hydrolock first.

Well a long overdue update to my thread. I've been sidetracked doing some house reno's and moving the new missus into the place, don't fret though, she knows I like to tinker!!
Here's pics of the turbo to IC stock pipe. Spent quite a time getting this bast%$d out, definately would be much easier to take out the radiator fans and or starter motor first, but I was determined to work it out and I got there. Removed it from below. You can see it's a bit nasty, harsh bends and mashing, but what is interesting is even though I was pretty careful to measure it, my planned 2" replacement pipe is still slightly smaller overall. You can see the difference in the comparison photo, the stock pipe is only a mm or so larger internally at the ends, but it is bigger. The photo looks worse than it is. The smooth inner contours of my 2" stuff should make up that difference though, but apart from smoother bends, the upgrade here isn't going to be that significant in my opinion. I've got it mocked up downstairs now and cut to suit, just need to get some edge beads rolled and it's in. Yipee!

I'm also at the point of putting the Wayne angle block into the exhaust to remove the O2 sensor from the flow, and to block off the EGR entirely. If this works like it's supposed to, then I can put in the IC to manifold 2.5" section, where the flow difference will be more significant. For now I'll have my QTP "flap" doing nothing, but I'm working on a controller coupled to ignition. The stock EGR flap and EGR valve will have to remain plugged in and hanging in the engine bay, until I look into getting them simulated / coded out. That's a must!
On the exhaust side of things I have a stuffed DPF on it's way to me, which will be my next victim, and I picked up this awesome APR muff for $50 off e-bay. I think I'll go with this baby over the aforementioned Aero muffler, for as awesome looking as it is, it's hard to toss up something that is proven to flow well and drop the resonance at the right frequency. I want power, but drone, well no thanks!
