TDI 4.2 3" Exhaust upgrade

Maurie, Is the drop pipe the extension that you can get added from the wastegate of the turbo?
May be a silly question but I am not sure on what a drop pipe is.

any chance of some dyno figures????. That would really help us other 4.2 owners to see what effect the various mods have.

Gday Maurie,

So you did find the 3" dump very noticeable? Think blanking of E.G.R is something that needs to be done sooner rather than later!

My turbo spools up very quickly; at the moment around 900rpm. Turbo spool is very loud, enough to make rice boys in there doof doof cars look over to see what the fuss is...

I'd be interested mainly to find out if the dump pipe standard acts as a bit of a restriction and heat builds up there giving me a false reading on the pyro...

My main concern is something that was raised some months ago prior to the powerup on mine. If the turbo is given enough leway to spin up quickly, will the boost actuator (or whatever it's called) pick up too much boost too quickly and restrict it? At the moment, mine spools so quickly, without any probs. I just want to reduce E.G.T's even further...

What muffler did you put on and was it only one or did you still run two?

Thanks for the update mate...look forward to seeing your dyno report.

Cheers

chris.

Hi
The larger exhaust will spool the turbo up faster and with less restriction, but turbo will still unload boost at preset, just will do this earlier in rev range...run a intercooler and use 14 psi as per Safari setup :-0
