Forge Turbo Muffler Delete Pipe (EA113 KO4 Engine)

(1/5) > >>

Dave J:
Good afternoon all,

Has anyone any experience of the above part? I've not read of anyone on here having one fitted, so wonder if it is a pointless noisy upgrade? There's no mention of any performance increase other than 'improved response'.

Cheers,
Dave

Buy the chinese boost pipe kit from ebay for around £120. Comes with a silencer delete pipe, charge and throttle pipes. Much better value. The part on its own will make no real difference

Along with an S3/6R intercooler and a modified discharge pipe (standard end cut off and replaced with a 2.25" rolled end), the forge part is a good way to delete the final O ring connection.  On it's own, zero gain.

If you still have the standard intercooler and leaky O ring connections, you might be surprised how different the engine feels after doing that.

Out of curiosity, I tried one of those aftermarket KO4 'hi flow' discharge pipe with muffler delete kits and was so underwhelmed, I sold it on immediately.   The factory parts are very good.  You just need to shift the O rings and get all of the boost instead of some of it.

Just an update to this. I've fitted the Forge muffler delete and the modified discharge pipe. I now have zero bayonet connections and it drives all the better for it and no more oily patches on the under tray.  Definitely worth doing this  :smiley:

There is no extra noise from the forge muffler delete.  Maybe it only affects K03 turbos?

A bit off topic but should there be some kind of seal in behind the muffler on the turbo? I took mine off my new turbo and didn't see one
