If I do it, I'm just going to buy the Neuspeed part. My plan is to install that along with an aftermarket intake (Rawtek being the front runner for me right now) and dyno the car again to see if there were any gains beyond Stage 2. I'd be really pleased if both Neuspeed & Rawtek weren't lying on their respective dyno charts and I was able to gain a little more in off-peak torque & HP.

Hogged my OEM one out today, but I can't say it was worth the time. Feels the same and sounds -slightly- louder. On the other side, I'm glad I didn't pay $140 for the Neuspeed one, I can't see it making a substantial difference vs the hogged OEM.

Looks like the EA288 uses a similar silencer. I may take a look when I do my oil change next weekend, and do some tweaking.

I have a 2009 european MK6.
will have a look later what mine looks like.

My IC pipe which goes straight after the turbo/damper outlet was cracked. Meanwhile I got rid of the damper by gutting its internals as described in #115 post.
I have done this yesterday and I can tell that it's noticeable that the turbo has become a bit more responsive.
I can't see any side effects (increased sound, whistle, or anything else) but hey, I never drive with windows down...
As for fuel economy, it's a bit to early to judge as I have done this only yesterday.
All in all: Happy with doing this.

New to this forum just 1 hour ago !! I love it already, im gona while away hiurs reading some of these threads i can predi t that already ! I may have found my automotive home !!!
After reading some of this fantastic information people, i am still having issues locating the factory inlet damper on my UK spec mk6 golf 1.6tdi (CAYC)
I am just wanting to free up rhe breathing really, maybe if the turbo spools quicker that'll be a bonus...but im doing it to just 'treat' my poor golf to the 'breathing through a straw affliction!' More mods will come after my dpf has THE TREATMENT !!
I can provide a few pics, would someone.....anyone be able to draw a rough arrow to the part in question. I am kinda trch savvy, but this is my first diesel car ever !! And ive been driving since 1988 !
I'll take a few pics shortly (in the dark with a flash) and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

This is a rough guide. I found it easier to put it in a vice and beat it out with a hammer and socket - comes out pretty quickly, and then you just file to clean it up
