Who's waiting on someone to make a Mk5 downpipe?

[Mach1]

I would think we could get a decent deal on the DP, Depending on how they are made, I may just finish the rest of the system with 3" ss, fabbed by Me!

We should see this week..

I want to see this turbo and how your car reacts to it..

You put in a Double disc clutch?

 

[SBAtdijetta]

Its the BleachedBora, Eurospec dual diaphragm kit.

A G60 FW 20lbs, dual diaphragm cover, steel back 228mm disc (550 lb/feet) with bolts - Aaron's description

I have heard it holds anywhere from well above 400 ft-lbs to up to 500, so I dont think I can break it...

Includes everything you see, for a stock feel high power clutch, costs a pretty penny though

So...If you are fabing up yours in SS 3" the rest of the way....you would be happy to do mine for a fee right...?

Be happy to let you take a look at the turbo too well once it is in.

V if you need wheels and/or camera let me know. I will haul you up there to get pictures or whatever. Call me if you need tranportation or anything and we can work something out. PM sent.

Monday monday... la la, la la la la, la la, la la la la, monday monday....

/me sits down and waits patiently for glorious pictures =)

 

[tdimymy]

Mmmm I cant wait for pictures

 

[Lightflyer1]

I couldn't either, so I went over there at lunch. Turns out they are very close to where I work. They were still welding on it, but it looked very nice! It looks big! They had some very neat cars in the garage too.

 

[velociT]

MMmmm pictures.... 3" prototype downpipe in the jig getting worked on....

Thats the prototype, in raw form. There will be much better pics posted here very soon.

Heres the cold-air intake they fabbed up for me

Best closeup I could get of the very large cone

I'll keep yall updated, of course.

 

[tdimymy]

yayyyyy, it looks awsome!!

 

[mdfirefighter]

that intake look nice as well! Don't keep us waiting much longer!

 

[Mach1]

Most Glorious!!!

I want one...

 

[Mach1]

SB, you will have to check out my exhaust system, after I fab it, its not going to be conventional...

Thats a nice clutch, but I think its out of my range.

Ditto, V let us know how this is going to work when you can, so we can get orders going. Btw V any pics of it finished/installed? Or is that all the way done yet. I would like to see a pic of the v-band clamp coming off the turbo and that first bend if you have one. (on or off the car no big deal)

Will do; I have to see it when its done!

Agreed clutch was up there $ wise, but I figure do it once and cover any future mod I can/will throw at it with no need to replace it and pay for more labor as I can not install a clutch...

There defiantly are some perks to living at home still though….(lots of Mod $) $ wise I can't do better than the very cheap rent. Good time to buy a house right now though, now I just need to stop spending on the TDI so I can save up a larger down payment.....lol

I will be discussing the ordering with them tomorrow.

The area coming off the turbo is tricky, we are going to make sure it doesnt leak.

And when we put it back on the car, I'll snap another shot.

V, they should be able to fab it up real good now that they have the initial rough-in done..

SB, I don't understand how you are going to take advantage of anymore power out of these, I cant keep my tires from shreading already, I ran it around a 180 the other day, stepped into it pretty heavy in second and the front 2 tires just roasted, it was under control, but just broke the front tires loose through the corner. It was fun..

I think we have a very good balance of power for the setup we have, w/o a locker we are going to have traction problems..I can imiagine having an aftermarket clutch, I bet you can almost break the tires loose at will..Mine will either slip the clutch, or break the tires loose. just by getting into the throttle. I am going to hold off after the exhaust system and a trip back to Colvins..

 

[Lightflyer1]

How many are currently committed now?

 

[mdfirefighter]

Count me in for the intake as well if they are planning on doing up any more of those.

Mach,
I don't have the DD clutch in yet, its sitting in my room waiting to be installed. DMF and stock clutch right now.

Also you have just a bit more power and tq than I do right now with my RC1+ vs your RC2. Also in addition to me having less power I have 17" wheels with 225 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires, and wheelspin is not as easy to come by for me. Well if I push it hard then I have spin or some tire slip for all of 1st.. and low end of 2nd. But it grabs quick enough in 2nd.
Come to think of it though this is all with ESP left on...

Mmmm locker.....I want to get an LSD at some point, maybe later though, ie next step plus PD150 injectors, but that will help the traction problems with all that added power.

Ahahaahaha!

Better shot of the downpipe:

Downpipe installed:

Lightflyer, we'll find out how many are "committed" tomorrow, I have quite a few on my list.

Starting tomorrow, Boostlogic will start taking pre-orders. You will call, give them your info, and get on a build list. Based off how many call them, the final price will be established.

If you have any questions about ordering them, you can PM me or contact them directly.

Those of you on the PM list will be sent ordering instructions momentarily.

Oh, and driving this thing home open-downpipe was pretty sweet

 

[Lightflyer1]

Checking PM's now!

 

[SBAtdijetta]

V looks great! Looking forward to getting one. Thanks for pushing this forward.
