Chris,Whooeeeee!!! my 2.5" Matt Whitbread downpipe arrived!!!!
Send a PM to Greengeeker as I am pretty sure he will be at the GTG in Saint Joe this weekend or you can drive to him in Cambridge. You should order the parts today from http://idparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=449&osCsid=nr7k3cgl13jrru1c16m2l0p994 or http://www.dieselgeek.com/servlet/Detail?no=349 and get a full kit with water pump and all the boltsAre any of the guru's available this week, weekend, or next week to do it? I've got cash in hand.
Thanks,
Bryan
Why are you heat wrapping the flex pipe??How many feet of heat wrap to wrap the flex tube on my new downpipe? And does the color really matter?
The main heat wrapping that I have seen is on the exhaust manifold and on the first part of the down pipe. Also a heat shield on the exhaust housing of the turbo. dont know about flex pipes :/It was suggested that I do that but I have been thinking about it and I am not sure it makes sense. I would think you would want the gases to cool as then there volume would be reduced and then you would have improved flow.
Yes Brad aka Deafbug is still doing them I think.Thanks for the reply Chris, I've sent a PM to Greengeeker, and I already have the belt kit.
Are there any others still doing this in the area, like Deafbug? I haven't been able to keep up with the forum much this last year.
From Matt himself:Why are you heat wrapping the flex pipe??
might that be one of the famed 1.9L passats?
From Matt himself:
The heat wrap on the dp is actually for protection of the speed sensor on the transmission. The dp comes about 1" away from the sensor. People run my dp's without heat wrap and no one has had a faliure yet, but a little insurance never hurts.
Well, it's not mine , but it may be in St. Joseph on Saturday with a little luck.might that be one of the famed 1.9L passats?
Ever see a parts list anywhere for doing a conversion? That would be verra intersting indeed.Did you buy it!? I see it is already gone. Was it a conversion?
This looks to give you a bit more info about what's actually stock (e.g. 4button remote keyless entry, hehe).She's a little dirty inside but it runs great
