Turbo back is the down pipe from the turbo the centre section and the back box the down pipe has the cat attached it's better to get a turbo back as pipe work is bigger 2.5 or 3 witch means turbo spools better as its realising gasses quicker

ok, still a little confused, so stock downpipe still goes to the turbo, its just smaller than it should be?

Stock downpipe is from turbo to cat. But you can get unrestricted ones that are a little larger in diameter

ok, so my TDI has a tubo back exhaust as stock
a CAT back system leaves the turbo downpipe and CAT but replaces the center pipe and backbox
a turbo back system just replaces all the existing exhaust components with larger bore ones and has an option of removing the CAT
a straight through system removes CAT, center muffler (if there is one) and rear muffler and replaces it with one big pipe from turbo all the way down

and finally, a resonated system has baffles in and a non resonated system does not.

is that correct?

I've got one on mine, unless the pricing has gone up exponentially, I paid £250 for the cat back (including a choice of tip) and when I got the downpipe and 200 cell sports cat (FIA Approved if anyone needed to know  :laugh:) fitted that was £300
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)
