New to modding TDi's

[Rich110]

Hi all,

Purchased a new to me 2002 110 ASV Leon Se with 110k with FSH (after reading around a few forums sometimes that doesn’t really mean much). Had it a few months now and so far the car runs great. Fitted a boost gauge and finally got round to getting cambelt booked in at AMD this week. Which will be a good chance to get to know the guys there.

Just have a few questions really. After browsing the forum for a good while I still cannot decide what exhaust to go for when I have the funds. Decat is defiantly on the cards however I don't really want it to sound too loud. What are peoples opinions on systems i.e. decat + backbox or decat + resonator no backbox or all three?

I used to own a Starlet 1.3 N/A which I managed to squeeze around 110hp (80 whp) from its 75hp engine so you can see its a whole different ball game to what I'm used to. I went through about 5 different exhausts trying to find a nice tone so don't really want to do that again.

I have also picked up a 1.8t pancake pipe and need a bit of fitting advise. I noticed someone fitted it to their standard turbo pipe work, I think it was Brad, with a reducer. I was wondering if someone new what size reducer is needed. I can see its 51mm for the pancake side just need to find out the turbo side.

I also have JOM shocks and springs waiting to go on, just need some time to fit.

Cheers guys

P.S. forum looks great

I've gone for the whole straight through system option. When driving normally, it is slightly louder, but not that much, but when I accelerate hard, it does get loud. When it hits 3k+ it sounds very throaty and nothing like a diesel at all.

Plus it gives it that "whoosh" sound when it lifts off.
