Go to VW, ask them for a 1.8T turbo / downpipe gasket - give them about £3.50 and be happy :)

Where it joins together in the middle just use paste like Chris said, you'll just need a gasket to join to the turbo

your dealers are rubbish...

The gasket in the first pic is for the turbo to manifold which you don't need. They have also given you turbo exhaust studs, you may need them though as they can snap. But you'll only ever need four lol. The nuts are right albeit too many (again you only need four)
Title: Re: Agu decat
Post by: Wazzzer on 09 February 2012, 13:55
Also there is no dealer part for the join in the decat, on the standard pipe this is one piece. Just use some paste on that joint and 3 random nut/bolt combination. Try not to use nylocs though as they could get too hot and melt
Title: Re: Agu decat
Post by: rio_gti on 09 February 2012, 13:58
the bolt/studs- you use 4 they go into the turbo (where the exhaust butts up to) thats if you are removing the old studs when you remove old nuts to remove old dp (one of mine snapped when i removed mine so good you got new ones just in case)

gasket with 4 holes - this goes between dp and turbo (slips onto bolt/studs that stick out the turbo)

nuts - after putting dp onto turbo, tighten nuts to hold it on!!!!

3 hole gasket - might fit between both pieces of the dp

will i need the paste as i got the gasket instead now aint i  :undecided:
Title: Re: Agu decat
Post by: Wazzzer on 09 February 2012, 20:35
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

the bigger gasket of the two is for the turbo to downpipe join. You need this.
the nuts are for the turbo to downpipe join, you need four.
the studs are for the turbo to downpipe join. You may need these, depends if any snap while taking the old nuts off

the decat you have has a join half way along for ease of fitting. The gasket that goes in between these joins is missing as per the auction details. You won't find these at the dealers as the standard pipe is one piece. Use paste in there instead of the gasket.

You will also need to find 3 nuts/bolts yourself for this join from a hardware store. Don't use nylocs in case these get too hot and melt. I would get a bolt and two standard nuts so you can lock them on
