The start of the downpipe, the turbo outlet pipe, and turbo inlet pipe, complete with MAF flange:

You can see the flange a little better here, along with the BPV connections. I need to add a flex hose on the outlet pipe:

The filter location. I think I may try to move the AC thingy (dryer/receiver maybe?) out of the way to make more room (probably when I put in a FMIC)

You can kind of see the downpipe here. If you use an external wastegate, or a better output flange, it will be a straighter shot.

And, of course, the gauges to keep an eye on it all:

lookin good

 

exciting!

 

I need to do that but don't know where to start.

 

cut a small hole in the turbo in and out pipes, and welded it in. Then run 1" i.d. hose to the BPV

Here's a quick diagram I whipped up:

Just find a spot where there's some room to run the hose, mark the pipes, and weld the tubes in.

I don't remember what the consensus was on the BPV orientation. I think I have it right on the drawing (and my car)

I don't think it really matters, one way will help it open faster (the way in the drawing), the other way will help keep it closed under boost.

 

Its a bigger turbo so I was just curious. I know Audi puts that heat dissapating fabric on the stock pipes. Are you going to do something similar? Otherwise I am very impressed and patiently awaiting some VAG-COM numbers.

I wanna hear this badd boy being revved up or do a ricer flybye.. I need audio.. hows she driving? or no drives yet?

 

....different sizes. Maybe one of those would give you more room.

 

but it's not like the exhaust gas temps are getting higher. I would think it would be the same, or very close.

 

I spent a lot of my time last weekend converting my truck back to stock since the lease was up.
