80q b4 2.2 20vt project

[Thuppu]

Yes, only for MOT


Nick, me too. But it's safer to not expect anything, then you can be happily suprised when the result is worser than it should be.

[Henkjan]

so the cat will only come in for the katsastus?

[quattro-nick]

[V6quattro]

Nice

Got the downpipe finished today. Didn't fit the catalytic converter yet, as I don't wan't any restriction on the dyno. Just mig welded it, no nice welds or anything. Welded with stainless though. DP 3.5" to 3" and finally to 2.5" exhaust...





The car become supricely silent. All turbo whine disappeared. Everyhting seems to work properly, so I guess it's time for dyno next.

Hey. What brand intercooler is that? Looks that someone has actually thought about cooling air, compared to usual styles.

It's non branded china intercooler. This one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120994910597

Nothing special happend here. Havn't had any time for the car lately. But hopefully will go on dyno soon...

I use a Forge one way valve, works great

Yea, we have stupidily priced VAG dealer parts here. A Topran valve would have been 2,8 euros from Spareto, but shipping 18 euros, so no point in ordering without any other parts.

There is nothing in that corner so no problem with space, I don't have plans for superchargers or anything , and everyone can ask what the hek that is?

30e for OEM valve 07C133529A I paid for the same one OEM brand new 11,55e .....
why you didn't install vacuum accumulator under left side wing ? or even under right side wing if you have activated charcoal canister removed ...
space under the bonnet is never too much

Now I'm thinking is this original RS2 vacuum accumulator under left side wing

[Thuppu]

Yes, also Topran 113898 would be the same, but as I couldn't get any of those fast and cheap locally, so I did buy an 30e OE valve.

Got the brake booster working today. Made a hose-nipple to fit on the booster and the check valve, also got the A8 vacuum accumulator and got it fitted with minimum mods. Only one extra hole drilled in the bracket. Did a small testdrive and the brakes are very powerfull.

[sailaz]

Instead of VAG 07C133529A the same can be achieved by Vaico V10-2519 or Zikmar Z68317R

I just connected my brake booster with a check valve to the intake. No accumulator. Works great.

here also no problems with vacuum without accumulator or vacuumpump

Ok, great to know it works. Vacuum pump is then unnecessary. My PKKM team member Tempo with Typ85 told that on trackday his vacuum was just enough, maybe some feeling that pedal was going hard in some cases, so I bought a A8 accumulator from ebay, did cost 28 euros incl shipping and has 0000 stamped on it.



Also couldn't find any check valve today, so I was thinking of to use VAG valve 07C133529A. Have to ask on Monday if the dealer has it in stock.

[Thuppu]

Could you please tell me the part number of this switch? ( 92-85 )

Bought a second hand, Facet 7.5626.
