Is anyone running a VT3 turbo and a pancake pipe from a 1.8t? I swapped one of these turbos in to my ALH Jetta wagon. I need to figure out pressure hose from turbo to pancake pipe. VT3 out looks to be 1.75" and inlet of 1.8t pancake is around 2" with a weird couple of angles between them. Anyone know the magic combo so I can order up and get this lovely back on the road?

I'm not running a VT3 turbo, but I am running a VNT-17/22 and I think I have a similar setup to what you're looking to run.

Here's the silicone elbow you need to run right off of the turbo. https://www.forgemotorsport.com/5445mm_Reducing_Elbow_Silicone_Hose--product--493.html

From there you'll have to get use some aluminum tube to connect some more silicone tube.

You'll probably need a 45. http://www.frozenboost.com/turbocharger-part/black-elbow-p-27.html

You'll need a 2" silicone joiner to connect them. http://www.frozenboost.com/turbo-piping/intercooler-pipe-fabrication-p-110.html

That's about as far as I can help, but that should get you started. Good luck.:)
