Forge Turbo Muffler Delete Pipe (EA113 KO4 Engine)

[pudding]

I'm sure it's 83mm x 1.2mm.  I'll measure one tonight if I remember.

89mm outside diameter x 1.8mm thick.

Ebay has a 3mm one after a quick search https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwij74XymrHUAhXOFtMKHfBuCykYABAbGgJ3Yg&ohost=www.google.co.uk&cid=CAASEuRocsSK8BL2bJqrRr1X3Q_ZxQ&sig=AOD64_0M7Z-laKGQF6LwkOQAekd40PZvig&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwj13ILymrHUAhVGUlAKHfl3C9wQwg8ILQ&adurl=

2mm would be OK

Oooh Viton, even better 

Pricey yeah, but the only way to get that seal from VW is to buy the whole turbo!

Well that explains why my turbo came without one I guess, quite annoyed as I could have been chasing a boost leak for ages, I'd have never suspected a seal to be leaking there on a "brand new" turbo.

Thanks for getting the sizes Pudding, you've been a star and thanks _Dejan_ for finding that seal, best I could find was 89x2.0 which would have worked but I'd rather be as close as possible.

Today Im order 2pcs 89mm(OD) x 1.9mm Viton O-Ring to try it...

I got some creation motorsport hardpipes from ebay and they came with the muffler delete , and what a load of sh*te , took me a  few hours a night to get fitted right , had to chop the bracket off 1 pipe as it was touching the fans and they wouldn't turn , discharge pipe blow off twice , and the muffler wouldn't seal at all , so I ordered the forge 1 and put the standard boost pipes on , how ever I had to cut 20/25mm of the farge samco pipe to get a nice fit
hope this helps

The Forge delete is the best by a country mile.

The Forge delete is the best by a country mile.

I retract that statement!

I took it out today to refit a standard discharge pipe and I wasn't too pleased with what I saw.  It was clearly leaking, judging by the oil misting.



The internal seal doesn't look too far away from complete disintegration either.  It clearly doesn't like oil or heat.



I think the oil misting may have been down to a poor seal on the turbo housing.  The 10mm bolts were torque down properly, but you can clearly see the oily witness marks where the seal wasn't compressed down equally around the circumference.



Maybe other brands of delete are better but I would steer clear of this one personally.   And yes, I think my turbo seals are letting go.  That's a fair splash of oil there.
