Hey everyone.

Quick question, does anyone know if my k39 downpipe will bolt up to a gt1749vb, exhaust flange wise.
Thanks.

It should. It's common for people in North America to remove the KP-39 turbo and replace it with a GT1749VB.

The exhaust pipe just bolts right up exactly the same.

One thing that's different is the EGR pipe that goes from the exhaust manifold to the EGR cooler. It may be completely different on European cars though, as I see you are in Denmark. On the North American cars you need a longer pipe, which is readily available here from most TDI part vendors.

Thank you for the elaborate answer :)

The EGR is deleted so that won't matter, European mk4s don't have the EGR cooler FYI :)
