Another Arizonan chiming in. I'm currently without a car until I can figure out my turbo intake pipe problem. I may have to resort to taking it to the stealership in north Scottsdale. Ugh! Can anyone recommend good VW mechanics around here?

I'm in desperate need of a turbo intake pipe for my ALH engine. The Oldman Intake I bought several years ago has failed and needs to be replaced. It's unusable and my car is out of commission. I'd put the stock part back on it, but that's not not possible. I know of a couple BEW turbo intake...

What is the outside diameter of the inlet on a stock VNT-15 turbo from an '03 ALH and what is outside diameter of the inlet on a stock KP-39 turbo from an '04 BEW PD100? Thanks!

I'm sure that using blue loctite rather than the red would be the safest bet.

Yeah, I'm not swapping out the turbo. I just need the the MAF to turbo inlet pipe. My original OMI failed and I'm desperate to find something to replace it. I have an opportunity to buy the inlet pipe from a BEW owner, I don't have a lot of money and I just want to make sure it'll work.

I have an '03 ALH with the stock VNT-15 turbo and I was wondering if the turbo intake pipe from a BEW PD100 with a stock KP-39 turbo would fit my configuration? If not, what would I need to do to make it work?

That might be a little more than what I'd like to do. Ultimately, what I'm aiming for is to make my car as fuel efficient and "fun" to drive with what it has without overhauling the entire engine into some kind of race engine. I currently have the original OMI that is broken and figured I'd...

What is a $200 W/M kit?

I'm confused now. I know that TDI Parts website says that it won't work with the EGR in place, however, I asked Peter about this in an e-mail and he said that it will work with the EGR in place. I wonder if he's mistaken or modifactions have been made that will make this possible? Hmm... I've...

I'd go with no cat or muffler, but I need to pass inspection and emissions. That's why I'm opting for as high flow and legal as I can get. I have the original OMI on from 4 years ago when they were first being produced. The lack of grommets caused the upper bracket to snap in half and the...

Which do you recommend? How do you like your TDI Parts OMI? I'd eventually like to get or make a stealth EGR as well. I've updated my list of mods thus far.

Yeah, I'll be modding. Right now I have Sprint 520 injectors in it and I'd like to eventually get a Rocketchip, DP with free flowing cat and muffler.

I'm in the market for an OMI. What are your recommendations? There are 3 vendors here that provide them and I'm wondering which one has the best design/fewest failures or issues. Street Toys? Kerma? TDI Parts? I have an '03 ALH with stock turbo, CCV and EGR.

It's an original OMI. I purchased it from BLUBYU in October of 2004. I don't have any photos yet. I'll post them when I do. Seems like getting an intake tube from Street Toys might be the cheapest route.

Yes, this was a "real" Oldman intake. It was not install error. It's been on for quite some time now. The upper bracket broke between the weld and the mounting hole. The lower bracket is still intact, but the bolt apparently snapped off. I doubt I'll get a replacement as this was from when...

I was driving from Arizona to Texas when I lost boost. I pulled over and discovered that the Oldman intake pipe was no longer attached to the turbo. Being stranded out in the middle of nowhere, I couldn't access the pipe from below. I jammed my arm down there and wiggled it back onto the...

Thanks for the replies. I managed to take care of it myself. I relocated here from Wisconsin and I've been here for 6 months and have been unable to land a job. So, I'm headed back to Wisconsin where the job market is slightly better. I'll be stopping in Texas to help a friend out along the...

Hello! I'm hoping that someone who lives in the Phoenix area can help me perform an oil change. The reason I'm asking is that I'll be driving back to Wisconsin and I need an oil change before then. I don't have money, ramps or an oil extractor to do the service. I have the oil and filter...

Just signed up! I tend to tap into the smaller resources first instead of going to Fred's all the time. Sort of like supporting the local business first. :)

Excellent! Thanks!
