Matt's TDI project

Where did you get the flip key cut? I put an r-click remote locking kit in mine, but still haven't got round to having the key cut as nowhere in town would do it.

  • Haha that actually cracked me up!! There was the massive risk of completely fucking it up and having a massive hole in my roof and I did chop and change my mind as wether to do it or not a million t

Cheers man :)

Did you get to make good use of the roof at The Big Meet? :D

Looked nice at the show

^^ I heard he got a little shower while at the show. Haha I'll let him tell u if it was while sitting in the car or not lol

Haha it was open for a few minutes but was pissing down.

Turns out I also had a water leak through roof since being sprayed at bodyshop so I've stripped it all out again and ran some sealant around it so I'll leave roof lining out for a week of so to test for leaks.

Your looked good as well man, proper clean!

With the amount of rain there was I'm surprised my roof didn't leak! :lol: Sealant should sort it out any way. If not just put a tonne of sealant around it, it'll be under the roof lining any way.

When my mate saw it at the show he didn't believe me when I said you'd fitted the roof, had to show him the build thread!

Cheers :D

So decided to do a EGR delete and full straight through on the derv

EGR delete kit came from darkside developments which are a diesel tuning company and some of you may have seen their yellow lupo Tdi going down the Santa pod strip. Couldn't recommend them any more!

So egr off

Delete on

Then CAT was cut out and just welded edges back together as it has a slight step in it which would of meant bending the straight pipe. All silencers cut out and removed

Shows how restricting the CAT really is

For some reason I didn't actually take any pics of it all fitted :lol:

Also as we did it on a Sunday and realised with the end being straight it was sending the exhaust gasses up the rear bumper and through the rear vents so needs must at 5pm on a Sunday

:lol: :lol: :lol:

And banged a cone filter on to get air in quicker

I have heard a lot of people on here saying you will not see any gains with this... BULLSHIT

It's pulls completely different and is much more responsive, will be getting a map to aid it too.

Yes it is loud but I kinda like it.

awesome matt.....

I've had cone filters n a de-cat on many a tdi and they rip.... dunno about the iccle 1.4 tdi.... but on my old volcanes, used to sound crazy

  • Author

It's no rocket but it definitely a lot better pulling through the gears! I kinda like the sound :lol:

is it to be remapped yet?

  • Author

Hasn't been mapped yet but will do at some point :)

Not done too much but seen as I keep getting fucked around trying to sell my hella LED rear lights I've decided to take the lenses off and get a spare set of 6n2 rears to take the lenses off and swap over. Haven't squired a cheap enough set yet though :lol:
