Thanks Carl,

That's good to know for the future, I'mpretty sure now I'll end up in one of these, and that's no bad thing. Is DP the downpipe?

[vRS Carl]

Yup.

The DP off any K04 car is a straight fit as well. You would need a reducer though to mate to the OEM back box.

[Horatio]

Interesting thread. I really wouldnt have guessed. Certainly throws a few options about. Did they ever do a 4wd variant?

[vRSAlex]

Yup.

The ihi turbo on the tsi requires a slightly different flange on the downpipe as the studs are not spaced the same as the Borg warner turbos on the fsi.

Are you sure?

I know a few people that have bolted S3 Miltek DP's straight onto the IHI and I don't think they modified them in any way

I am :)

They will fit but the flange needs modding slightly.

I love mine and having just spent 8hrs travelling oop norf (fcuking traffic ) with a full boot, two week old baby, two dogs and a full roof box (oh and the wife  )

Jesus, is that including having to stop every two hours?

[Hedge]

It's because Carl is such a slow, careful and conscientious driver.

Yes. We ended up stopping 5 times as he is cluster feeding at the moment. The journey normally takes 2.5-3hrs as its only 197 miles and virtually all M'Way / dual carriageway.

Got to eek out the MPG as that's more important especially with stage 1

Even when he stops cluster feeding you're only supposed to leave them in the car seat for two hours maximum, to avoid damaging their back.

[vRS Carl]

I know I was just saying we stopped 5 times due to the cluster feeding.

I can't complain about the traffic. They shut the M6 at jct 18 for the Air Ambulance and it cause a tailback from 18 down to 10. Just hope whoever needed it pulled through ok.
