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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • vacuum pipe please

    Hi,

    Does any one know what diameter vacuum pipe I need to buy for use between diverter and inlet manifold...
    Does it make a difference if I get a larger diameter pipe.

    Thanks guys

    Don't use larger diameter, in theory if you think about it, it will take longer to open the DV. More volume to evacuate when you come off the throttle.

    I think I use 3 or 4mm silicon. The 3 will stretch enough to fit the nipples and 4mm isn't so big that it falls off either. In a local speed shop they sold it by the metre. In the past I have bought several metres at a time off ebay.

        Yep, it's about $8/metre from Supercheap.
