I decided today to make my own turbo outlet by modifying the oem 2.0t fsi outlet...I cut the oem alloy tube down below the pinch on it. Added to it a straight 60mm Dia. coupling tube w/length of 40mm. Then, from a 60mm U/180deg. alloy pipe you'll need to cut the portion needed, which wasn't much, so you go up from one end a few inches to the 1st cut. Then up from there 4 or so inches, but I'd recommend you mark it as needed to fit the turbo outlet coupling hose and cut it after you are certain of the location of cuts one and two. I actually found a small length of what I needed in a muffler shop scrap bin and the cost was free ;p

Neuspeed, or some one, should hire me...now that I finished up with my MET program, right? ;p

This is what you'd want if buying the section...

This is how mine turned out...

I've ran a custom one for over 12 months for 2.5in. Removed the silencer thingy in the turbo too.

Today fitted some new brakes Vwr 6 pots

Nice work on that...are those a bit used? Lucky find if so ;p I'm thinking of the Porsche Cayanne 6 pots if I can find some, but my 4 pots are doing a great job so far

No,didn't remove it...due to a K04 conversion bit from AWE Tuning that it connects to...

I just welded a pipe on the turbo flange cut the internal bit off and then came off that with a 90' silicone bend to a 2.5in pipe with bend then to a 45 degree bend reducer. No room for engine movement but hopefully a solid engine mount will sort it. But that send I haven't had any prob yet.

Brakes where second hand at a very good price. What size are your discs?
