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,

  • This is the one you want. Jig runs this one as Corey just said. If Jig runs it, it's a good bit of kit - Google Translate - The google translate is the link to the site lol

        Yeah I think I'll put the bumper on the back burner for a while. It's going in for wheel bearings on Monday then I'll seriously start thinking about getting this diff in! Oh and just placed and order at car care products, should be super shiny soon

            • i agree with jed and reckon the deeper intake version is the way to go. the one you posted doesn't look right with the indicator shape cut outs above the intakes and its too angular in my opinion. i reckon you should go with this one...



              also i could be talking bs but heard that the oiled filters can suff the maf sensor over time. like i said it could be **** but as a safe guard i would make sure it is not over oiled and try and clear as much excess as possible.

              anyway stop rooting around on the net buying things and get that chihuahua fitted...

              looking sweet mate, keep up the good work

                    Haha, I actually want to put a 1.9tdi badge on it. Diff is not installed yet. I'm sourcing a 2nd tranny to drop it in to minimise downtime. Got a good leed so hopefully will be in soon!

                        I love it! My house mates, neighbours and anyone in the back seat not so much. I would recommend resonated though, mine is non-res and gets a lil' droney on the highway.

                          Haha I can imagine, I was just wondering because I've seen a lit of people running 3" into 2.5" for some reason.

                          I'm thinking same sort of setup for mine, 3" DP of some sort with high flow cat and custom 3" catback....may even go varex muffler just to have the option of silence (not that I'll want it very often anyway)

                          • John at 42DD told/confirmed this with us, which I basically understand is:

                            3" DP is best for performance.

                            But with the Cat Backs, it's more of a choice:

                            3" will give you a bit better top end power, kW on the dyno, but rob a little low end power, and it'll be noticeably a bit louder.

                            The 2.5" will give a bit better low end power, losing a little top end, and be noticeably a bit quieter.

                            I'll try to find the actual quote from him, but I think that sums it up.

                            You really should've jumped in with us on that 42DD buy, we ended up getting 35% off!! The offer was meant to end on Tues USA time, but if you emailed them now you could maybe still jump in! ... You could maybe also jump in on shipping with one of the guys on here that's getting their exhaust sent to near you anyway... My full turbo back 3"-2.5" 42DD exhaust is only costing me about $1050 AUD, to my door! And that's including about $400 AUD shipping!!

                            Maybe just grab a 42DD 3"DP right now, and then get a varex muffler from elsewhere? I love the idea of those things! And that is probably why nearly all of us in the group buy got the 2.5" cat back, just that bit less unwanted attention from the boys in blue and judgemental frowners. >-( ..aka: the haters!

                                I've got a 3" catless downpipe to a 2.5" billyboat exhaust. I swear by it. Not too loud either. Although sometimes I wish it was a bit louder when doing some spirited driving haha. It's just a no name downpipe front eBay too. No problems with it whatsoever. Cheap as
