Dark ice designs turbo outlet pipe
Hi there just wondering if anybody has fitted the outlet pipe to the l series and whether it makes much of a difference over the standard one. Thanks
|
I have one of the 'original' Donny pipes..... and it helps make the turbo a little more responsive - but realisitcally doesn't make a whole host of difference.
If you are not going beyond injectors and remap i would save the cash unless you want the bling in the engine bay :) You can probably get the same gains by unsquashing the OE one in a vice lol |
Thanks p_b82,I definatley want to go further with the mods,was looking at a hybrid turbo but don't really know much about where to start or even where to get one,been looking everywhere! I did mean to ask as u have a td as well,what's the max boost I can have with the oe turbo?

Sorry late reply - been busy...
OE turbo is 19PSI max. anymore and you overspeed it and you actually loose power due to the heat generation - (and will damage the turbo in time) Hybrid turbo's are a slight challenge for us - as the OE exhuast housing is really rather small and it creates too much pressure in the exhuast manifold. Have a read of my build thread for some of the issues i have encountered using mine.... alternately nip over to mg-rover.org and read the diesel section if you want to see other tuning options. (i dont think there are any other L-series specific sites where people are tuning - but there is always tdiclub and the forums for more generic (but VW orientated) tuning options) Or feel free to ask me here or pm :) |
Thanks for the info mate,I think im running about 17 psi at the moment so I'll probably leave it there'it seems to be ok at that anyway,I was just curious lol. Will definatley have a read of the build thread on the hybrid,give me an idea of what to expect,thanks again p_b82

Glad you like the pipe, but i feel the £85 or so for the pipe may have been better spent elsewhere ;) Cheers Dave |
Boys it's a diesel. Built for economy from a tractor.
I just don't get the tampering??!! |

I have a fairly modified diesel Astra and can see the appeal to those not used to the power... but there's nothing like the roar of a petrol egine and the smell of VPower to get you going in the morning :D
Saying that, Susan's brother has a 3.0 A5 and for a diesel it sounds rather good |
