I have about 35 years of DIY auto mechanics, had a lot of cars that I had modified myself and installed race parts including Porsches, Subarus, Mustangs, Corvettes, etc. About a year ago I bought a 2016 MK7 GTi for my son wich I had installed a few race parts and done all the maintenance at home. All I can say that this little car is the most uncomfortable and more tight car that I had worked in all my life. But I love it!!!
Always take the tray out. It will make your life so much easier. Also, when you go to reassemble the new TMD, it works well to put the outlet coupler back on the new TMD and then install the new peice back into the turbo, then put the charge pipe in the coupler and then that will hold it in place while you fidget with putting the bolts back in place. Its like an extra hand holding it for you.
I did intake, inlet, and muffler delete today. Of course, I forgot my towel under the inlet for oil drip, so i tried to pick it out with a little hook tool, but i dropped it and I couldn't find it. So i jacked up the car to go under and find it. Took about 30 min to find as it was hidden above the LCA. So i got the towel out by removing the intake pipe (should have done this to begin with), but then forgot to reconnect the vacuum hose on the underside of the intake pipe 😂 what a day! One small thing caused a cascade of oops!
The benefits of doing this are minimal. But it definitely makes a difference in pull. The turbo is allowed to breath a bit better. Put a smile on my face.
You can get some good apps that record SPL in dBA for a reasonable comparison. Most people I speak to regarding this mod are looking for a bit more response (rather than power) but are concerned that it might make their refined R a bit too tuner-car-noise. SPL data might be a good sales tool. Keep up the great videos!
Just wanna jump in here... if anyone is expecting big changes to the sound of your turbo with this thing, don't. It allows a subtle high-pitched hiss to break through a bit more than stock, but that's it. Also, of course there are no performance gains either. Very subtle mod.
I know there is a Dyno graph of this mod for 5whp and 11wtq but I am very doubtful.... The engineering of that stock turbo muffler is finely tuned by the turbo manufacturer for harmonics. Maybe the stock one is designed to cancel out a certain resonance frequency and allow better flow. Who knows.... Hard to say now in days.
Thanks for the video. Looks like alot of work for not much gains IMO. Also for a DIY type mod I think this poses too much risk for boost leaks touching the charge pipe and turbo muffler.... I bought a CTS delete but I am going to sell it after watching this lol.
I fitted this with a inlet elbow and drop in filter. And Has a good bit of sound and not over the top. Also, this can be fitted with the battery in place 👍
Deutsche Auto Parts I'm a tech too... And I've put on cables so many times... Just to look to the side and see the battery insulation sitting on the side smiling at me. I was litterally talking to you through the screen hahaha.
Hi bro, congratulations for the video and since I'm also on the subject of modifications I wanted to ask you if this kit is applicable to a 2011 Audi TT8j3 1.8 tsi Thanks in advance
So this is an easy mod, lets just tear apart everything in the engine compartment, just pull things but not to hard or you break stuff. Slide this, slide that, pull this out. Insert this, pull this, pop that... and boom!!! Try to rebuild it and have a small sound adjustment to your turbo...
Please could you let me know if the oem Turbo Muffler has a O ring? I had a Racingline turbo muffler delete which came with a oring on it for a year and I can’t remember if I needed an o ring for the original. I reinstalled the original but I just wanted to double check before I start having leaks. Thanks so much.
Hi..i love your vids...i would like to ask u a tip.. I have a Golf 7.5 Gti..revo stage 1 ... Airbox modded and drop filter..and muffler delete. I would like to add a racing line inlate hose and turbo inlate pipe...could be a good choice? I don't want to lose torque or power.... What do u think? Thanks
Hello. Currently trying to install this on cold engine and the new inlet with gasket seams too tight to fit in there.. was afraid it would stuck half way in. I had put it in the freezer overnight to try to shrink it and will oil and heat the turbo flange, i will try again tomorrow. Any tip?
I was putting my muffler delete,and it was hanging out the turbo to much so I felt uncomfortable so I put the OEM back in.is it supposed to hang out more than the oem even tho you just said the forge on is a little longer?
thoughts on if the Neuspeed Turbo muffler delete with the high flow discharge piping kit seats as nice / flows as well as the Forge one? I just ordered that set up.
You should put a compressor or noise gate on your mic audio to avoid unwanted reverberation and delay inside your garage. It was just a little distracting. Just trying to help.
I have the 034 turbo muffler delete and I'm using one of the taps to run my boost gauge. I've noticed I'm not pulling any vacuum. Is this due to the location of the tap?
my factory turbo muffler oring broke apart when i removed the muffler. do i need it when i install the muffler delete? there's no part number for the oring.
gladius saif pretty sure you got what I got in my 2014 gli it's a gen3 e888 but not the same as he mqb car like this mk7.. and no it doesn't work.. seems like the comments say it's not worth it anyway
This specific size and product, no. You will likely be able to get a muffler delete for the VRS however it depends on the turbo you're running; engine size and turbo model to be specific.
Any warranty concerns having a turbo muffler delete? I'm all for helping out the sound of the car but kind of want to protect against having warranty work being denied in the future.
Why do you feel it necessary to use a rattle gun for every bolt.... you could of had the battery tray on just as fast with the ratchet. I thought it might be you just flexing becuase you had one but then i realised it was bosche.... so no point flexing.
This modification is actually beneficial to the longevity of the turbo. The stock piece creates back pressure on the turbo which degrades the turbo. The turbo muffler delete will reduce the back pressure not eliminate it but significantly decrease it which will improve airflow and reduce the stress on the turbo.
