Default test pipe installed

Installed atp test pipe.Fit good sounds good on stock exhaust and made the turbo sound like a diesel truck but ill never put one in again. The nuts on the turbo came off with no problem at all,the nuts on the back of the exhaust where so rusted and rounded they eventually had to be cut.

Sounds like a pain did you use any penetrating oil?

So other than the fact that it was hard to disconnect everything from your turbo, you are happy with the test pipe?

This is something I want to do in the near future. I wondered about how the test pipes would fit up to the stock K03. So the fitament was ok up against the turbo?

Is this the one you purchased? http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/me...Code=AUDIVW-DP

If you can wield you should make your own custom test pip and downpipe its really easy, and it will save you some big $$$

I Made mine, the test pipe and down pipe are one whole unit, looks tight made a huge difference..
