Title: exhaust 1.8T converstion
Post by: GolfGTI8v on 18 January 2011, 09:14

So im starting my 1.8T conversion this week as i now have everything i require (cross fingers)  :rolleyes:

However, quick question ive bought qpeng downpipe + adaptor to fit my standard 8v gti exhaust.  The car will only be running the standard 150 hp map for the next few weeks. Does anyone know if this standard bore exhaust will be ok backpresser/heatwise on standard power.  I figured it would be fine but thought id double check.

exhaust will be changed at a later date when the engine has been up and running in a few weeks

 :nerd:

I believe you would be better to go for a bigger bore, not sure on the qpeng bore but I would guess a Jetex system would be a good choice.
