Plus, if you block the BOV to make the dose/flutter bigger, it has been known to damage turbos. (Not necessarily our ones...)So the good old dose pipe setup (without proper airbox mod) hinders performance and has a high pitched alarm to alert all nearby motorist that you're a show, not go, type of guy? I'd give the flutter setup a go, as it seems like an easy tweak that can be reverted to stock quite easily, but I'm simple and don't know how to work out what's what in the TT engine bay.

It wouldn't lose enough power so that a Jeep could kick your ass hahahaA Territory Turbo with a dose pipe... That would be hilarious on a cruise Edited 18/05/08 02:31 AM by R-SPEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You volunteering RSPEC? What goodies would be required? Just the pipe, pod filter and some clamps/hose? Couple hundred bucks for some laughs is well worth it.

Riddle me thatAlrighty then. I'll hold you to that. I'll take some pics of the engine bay so you can see if you reckon it'll be easy, or a bitch.In the meantime, I'll collect up the following checklist of goodies.- 1" rubber chair leg stopper thingy (now sure which kind of these to go for)- 90° 3" metal pipe,- 2 x 100mm lengths of 3" silicone hose- a can of Coke- smile (got this one already)- 2 x 3" hose clamps- pod filter (not sure what's best, but I assume the smallest, so it'll fit in a tight spot)- adapter for pod to 3" hose? <- just assuming I'll need one.With that all said, when's the next cruise?
