Straight through

[boydy1989]

having fitted my new straight through exhaust yesterday, i have run into the first problem...

It now pulls that much air in that it is collapsing the intake hose! Anyone got any ideas? The intake pipe is only about a foot long!

im gnna clean the K&N on it first i think.

[yella]

use a wire bound air intke pipe and fuck the k&n off in the bin

[boydy1989]

yeah im still waitin for the correct one off Davie.

ere are tarqs, i used ally tube we rubber/ silocon elbows.

on the end of each aly tube i put for rivits to stop the rubber elbows from slipping off.

[boydy1989]

aye thats norra bad idea, ill give it some though! Goin to the local hydraulics place on monday to see what they have.

[discomania]

What did you find? Lots of hydraulic bits?

[discomikey]

my hose were fine, problem i had cos of the turned up turbo was me hoes kept blowin off the intake manifold. buh i about took the jubilee clip to its limit tightening it up. mauybe its just askin you to turn up the turbo, but then youll have to turn up the fuel pump if you aint already

i went to the hydraulicsplace. for a 1 meter length of wire wound flexible silicoon pipe, in 70mm ID...

£68!!!!!!!

So, i fucked off outta there, went across the road to the builders uPVC merchant an got me 2 90degree bends and a length of downpipe for £7.30! Even if it only does 6 months while i think of a better plan im happy! Gna fit it in the next few days.

Wanna get an oil cooler in before i turn up boost or pump.

I would not bother with a Oil Cooler mate, You will overcool the engine..... TDI's don't run hot

[boydy1989]

id rather have it very slightly overcooled than melt my turbo, under heavy load a diesel turbo will get to 900degrees... Thats a lotta heat for the oil to be shifting!

It had one as standard, so it figures i should probably put one back on.
