So what again are the real world gains on the mod?
so I'm thinking you removed the intercooler pipe down at the cooler?
I kinda wonder if cutting the turbo muffler at the big side of the bend and adding something like this to compensate for the bend instead..??
(note this is just an example I'm not sure if these are the correct size tubing)

it would be cheap and easy...and would get less heat soak then a alum version....
You gain some sound and about 5 Kilofonzies of coolness.So what again are the real world gains on the mod?
Holy cow - 5 Kilofonzies!!! Epic gains for such a simple modYou gain some sound and about 5 Kilofonzies of coolness.
Just called the dealer and priced the normal part so I could hollow it out and make a quick swap. They wanted 190 for that small piece of plastic tube! So I guess it is just cut mine out.
So do you have the one in metal or are you gonna get it done with a dremel?Woo Woo project this weekend. I was waiting for that piece of aluminium... now I'll pass some time in the garage.

Well did this last night and like all is saying took right at 2 hours. Longest part was handy work with the dremel. No gains felt by seat felt by seat of pants but slightly louder. Also removed snow screen at the same time.
Cool thanks!Ya me either. Not like I was hoping anyways. Can't wait till warranty is up then u will really hear my car ya I removed the maze. That's what I call the snow screen.
If I ever end up outside the hospital. I will make one.
U say better gains over the hollow stock one? Is it that much bigger of an I.D?I made a demo one up for a customer two weeks ago... I have two more metal ones ready to go for those looking for better gains than hollowing out the oem one let me know .
Also, I am doing a run of 50 anti shudder valve and hp egr delete parts, and just egr deletes with options for boost, nos, or w/m ports Fun times in tdi land.. Just too busy to post! check out my facebook page IIRC I posted pics up for you guys!
