Very cool. Wish I had the patience and knew how to do this.

I didn’t know how until I read stuff and watched videos on it and I’m still obviously learning, go for it bud!

Can you please tell me which diameter pipe is best for a VW 2.0 TDI 81K? 2.5 OR 3.0?

[@shed_mfg]

@@dieselhead5891 there are more variables at play here, stock turbo? What tuning? Power goals? But for a more rapid spool and more torque generally the biggest Downpipe that you can make fit is the way to go.

@@shed_mfg its a CR140 borgwarner... Its completely stock... I just wanted to remove the catalyst.

@@dieselhead5891 if you can fit a 3” in there it will future proof any mods you may want to do down the road
