I'm working on it Joe it uses the standard 02 pipe from the 1.8T kit, and an additional set that mounts to the after cat portion.

Working on it guys i need to track down the old camera

The test pipe is standard on the kit, the cat is an option.

[DnA-TT]

It's pretty...the whole thing looks top notch!

[jwalker1.8]

I think i'm more anxious than you ray

[joe@vwvortex]

Looks good! Like the Vband connection. My only concern from the pics shown is the vibration on that hanger on the weld. I'd look at moving it off the weld a bit. Also - how accessible are the four bolts in the engine compartment on the DP? Could this be done with a Vband instead?

The 4 bolts holding the pipe to the turbo are easily accessed from the top if that's what you're getting at. Maybe i'm confused

Nope that's what I'm asking. The three bolts on my 42DD DP are a bitch to get at.

shouldn't be a problem, the exhaust portion of this kit has 3 pieces, piece one bolts to the turbo with 4 bolts, piece to connects to the mid pipe. The mid pipe has a vband on the lower section and a 4 bolt flange on the upper portion. The upper portion of the mid pipe is studded, so connecting them is pretty straight forward, wind on the nuts to near tight then tighten them down. The last portion has the optional cat or standard test pipe, which connects to the mid section with a v band as pictured.

Hopefully that clears things up a bit

Out of curiousity since I already have a BT set up, can someone purchase just the DP? Say this person has a custom tubular mani that has a similar turbo configuration as the kinetics mani...If so, how much?

[M this 1!]

what kind of cat is that? i've already gone thru 1 stainless cat and am on my 2nd...........this is in 45k miles of ALOT of flow and heat....but still. that thing looks similar to a factory (non-225) cat.

[shottabwoy5]

do u recomend building the motor before putting the big turbo kit on i currently have a gli but in debating getting a TT 225 i would deff want your kit interested in either the 2871r or the 3071r will see what the funds are like ...but do u recommend building the motor before putting this kit on?

The DP is really involved, and with the clearances I don't think it would fit if you had a custom exhaust manifold. obviously from the pics you can tell that the downpipe could hit the tunnel pretty easily so if the manifold/turbo placement is off 1/8" then it would be much further off since the downpipe is quite far down the line. Think if a gear shifter, when you shift a gear the pivot point of the shifter moves very little, but the knob has to go quite far, same deal with a slight change in the manifold placement.

I can't remember at this time, i'll try to dig it up for you.

There are a lot of 1.8T guys making 325whp on stock blocks, for much more than that I would get rods. Most of the people that buy this kit will likely want something along the lines of a GT3071R or GT3076R, most of our sales come from those turbos, because they make good power and give you a good spool up. To take full advantage of these turbos you'll want to get drop in rods at a minimum. For a 3071R drop ins would work nicely, I've seen 420+whp on those, with 20psi coming before 4000rpm.

JC @ Douglas ran a 3071R on his 20V a few years back, and was one of the first into the 11's now he's one of the first into the 11's with a 2.0FSI.

If you guys have any q's feel free to IM me, or email

[bvgoosedd]

This kit so far from what i've gotton is f**king sweet. i will be posting pics as i go along. i'am def gonna do rods, just that right now my turbo blew so i had to do something, i didn't want to waste 700 on a stock ko4. so i went with a gt3076r. i'm gonna run about 15psi till i can do rods. just to be on the safe side i am not gonna put a boost controller in. i would wanna turn up the boost soooo bad. I can def say clay has been great to deal with. always answers his emails and is very quik with it. thank god for blackberry. lol. i just dropped the car off yesterday to get the kit installed. so i told the shop to take as many pics as possible.

[bvgoosedd]

here's some more for you guys. if you guys have any questions about clay or anything i'll be more then happy to back him up. even the people at the shop said it's a very nice looking kit. i hope it's a smooth install and i did tell them to take lots of pics. i will let you guys know how it comes along.

[joe@vwvortex]

Looks great - thanks for the pics!

Let us know how many hours your shop takes for the install.

Looks good Ray, don't forget to clock the turbo and make sure the drain is positioned correctly

Check your email/IM

[bvgoosedd]

yea shop is taking their time to make sure everything is done rite. lol. so far they told me looks good and pretty straight forward. only consern is the wastegate dump pipe back to the dp. is it gonna leak? that is the only thing he is concerned with. you know how it connects and there is no gasket or anything?

[SlowVRT]

run that bitch open dump... sounds better.

oh and clay has a small *****

Ray, we've never had a problem with them leaking, I wouldn't worry about it.
