Mike@LindenVW's .:R32 Thread - 20th Installation

[Mike@LindenVW]

Planning on putting it back on the dyno later this week to see the exact gains with the new exhaust.

I am probably 70/30 on WiTW. I have a vacation a few days after so I am juggling a few things.

Also, after driving the car now, I really need to upgrade my brakes. What brakes are you using?

[JC@DouglasVW]

Stock for now, waiting on a few options coming to the market before I upgrade.

I like running 17's so I am going to check these out when released.

I am working on the instal of a 20th turbo kit on my own car. I have really appreciated your post because HPA has thus far not sent complete instalation instructions, and I am an amatur. I notice you ran your plug wires under the intake manifold. Looks clean. How is the access when changing plugs?

[tdcvdub87]

Great build can’t wait to see the new vids!

[Mike@LindenVW]

well i am new to GoPro but am figuring it out. Took a nice vid of me going through a tunnel.. windows down to try and get a sense of the sound of the new exhaust.

Still trying to find the right place to mount, open to suggestions!

No one was really in the tunnel and the guy ahead of me tried to be a hero, for a short time.

Got to ride in this today and I'm mildly upset that I will never have that kit on my car shy of winning the lottery that I don't play. Mike let me know about the CVP kit and what I would need or we could work out. Don't neccesarily need the cvp2 but what I would need for cvp1. Thanks.

NICE

I must try get a ride in an R32T at SoWo. They just seem so epic

[JC@DouglasVW]

knowing your car sounds as badass as it feels is an awesome feeling. Why hide power behind a stock exhuast when the 3.2 sounds so good!!

I actually put in a exhaust dump (I mean why not?) and I have yet to flip the switch in the tunnel.. I am afraid I might scare people.

[Ricardorl]

An exhaust dump in the tunnel may earn you a friendly chat with Port Authority.

And you will soil anyone else's pants who happens to be in that tunnel with you...

[sentari]

Is that an HPA exhaust?

[Mike@LindenVW]

Is that an HPA exhaust?

No, we did a custom 3".

[sentari]

Thanks... I ordered up the big 'ol hog that HPA builds for their 20th KIT. I'm having them do quad exhaust though! I'm praying they finish up soon.

No, we did a custom 3".

Thanks for the ride at WiTW. Glowing downpipes. Get those things ceramic coated. lol.

Bad ass R.

[Mike@LindenVW]

Thanks for all the and pics, was great meeting everyone and already looking forward to next year.

what's different in your setup now?

[Mike@LindenVW]

Just the exhaust. Went to 100c cats and a 3" exhaust.

Beautiful. 425 at 15 lbs. is nice dude. Enjoy.

[Dennis@LindenVW.com]

SO HAPPY THAT WE BROKE INTO THE 400'S NOW BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND GET MORE HP . SORRY MIKE LOL

You literally rolled by right as I got my camera out of the bag.

I didn't have time to make any adjustments to my settings, which is why it didn't turn out.

Nice results Is that a 2wd or 4wd dyno?

[itouch]

What is the brand of your exhaust dump?
