I remember when I first heard of this v10 diesel... i forgot about it soon though since it's a VW, don't take that as an insult though. I remember now how impressed I was with it, yours sounds amazing. I'd give a nut for that.
Verry nice !!!! I have a 2000 Jetta TDI, 2.5'' strait pipe and just had a potentiometer to the fuel pump ! Result: 174HP & 284 Lbs torque and the worst thing, it cost me 5$ for the pot and the switch ! REALY nice sound for you V10 TDI !!!!!!!!!! Max
Who did the work? It looks great. Just bought a loaded 04 with 25000miles in factory condition. I am NOT exaggerating. It is spotless. Looking for ways to personalize it. Yours is great looking.
@MooperSC I have four catalytic converters and have passed WA's emissions inspections three times since I bought this thing. Mufflers are not for emissions, only for exhaust volume. By removing it, the engine runs more efficiently and my MPG's went up... On long trips I get upwards of 28 mpg cruising at 80 mph. People with software changes on these tdi's (and diesels in general) are known to get BETTER mileage, unlike electronically tuned gas motors.
@sjberg40 and dont forget that soot falls back to earth, unlike his ozone eating gasser. when will people ever learn to not bash on diesel videos. theres a reason diesels are coming back
@MooperSC you are an idiot. Obviously you only read the liberal/tree hugging b/s that talks about how awful diesels are, need emission this and that...2007 Ford 6.0 diesel could achieve 20-21 highway but the 2008 Ford 6.4 Diesel was around 15 Highway mpg due to all the emission shit....so you have to use more diesel which is a limited resource. It takes more energy to produce the emission controls and units. Smart right?
@MooperSC Soot is nothing. It falls to the ground. It's what you can't see that is "shitting on the planet". and let me tell you, your gas makes more of it.
Also, urea injection is used to control either carbon monoxide or NOx, or maybe both it's been a while since I've had to study these engines with emissions controls. But not smoke.
@MooperSC Are you aware that soot is nothing but unburnt diesel (biodiesel in this case) and it goes straight back to the ground therefor it does not harm the atmosphere. Diesels are far more economical than gassers. Please do not insult anyone if you have no idea what you're talking about :).
@VeeDubTDI2 I tested out to see if I could get good audio from mounting the camera outside and driving, it sounded pretty good. I'll make a video in the daylight and post it later.
I hear good things about Rocketchip, but I can't send my ecu's away- this and my work truck are my wife and I's only vehicles. She commutes in this, can't have it down for too long.
Yep, still has all four cats. Thinking about removing the two that come after the 02 sensor.
@sjberg40 can you do one with the camera mounted in the middle of the rear of the car (in the middle, between the rear and the front seats) preferably at night?
you have no idea how much hate and disdain i have for ignorant stupid "im so trendy" morons like you. you want to cry about pollution? go look at the big corporations and up to the sky for fukushima fall out if you live on the west coast.
@alexcheetah79 Thanks man. I just recorded a video tonight from a camera mounted to the license plate in back. There are no visuals, so I don't think I will post it. I'll do another in the daylight. Under load it sounds better.
@jlcool007 The stock exhaust holes were filled with material from another bumper, then we just removed the small piece that covers where the hitch would exit the center. Trimmed a bit of metal to match the bumper opening and painted it all when I had the lowers done. The guy did a great job, you can't tell the stock opening were ever there.
@jlcool007 The piping goes the same place as stock did until the muffler, so it doesn't hang down at all. It might tuck up higher than stock, actually. It doesn't see much more than logging roads and snow during winter anyway.
Flyby/exterior mounted cam videos are gonna happen soon.
@Mr330d Yeah, there just isn't a lot of chip tuning available locally. The closest guy is in Portland. I could have gotten Dahlback's tune, but IIRC it was over $1200... I will someday. Was hoping Revo would release a file but that isn't going to happen.
@KrazyKuul111 ??? Was just gonna say that yeah, he digs it- he likes anything diesel. That Ford is gone, he bought an '11 Ram with a Cummins. Beautiful truck.
@M3iscool Sure- I have seen straight piped Passat and Jetta TDIs before. The turbo quiets them down so much they don't get very loud. Go to a good exhaust shop, mine cost less than $400 total.
@FATLACE420 meh, they weren't. I love them, they were one of the few multi piece wheels available in 22". Now quite a few people sell 3 pc wheels in 20"+.
I've seen pics of your car floating on the VW forums, do you by any chance have a build thread showing the work? This was exactly what i was thinking of doing, and yours looks clean, so i certainly know what I'm doing lol.
@THEDLO88 Yeah, I am on vortex and a bunch of other forums because I go back so far with modified VW's. I don't have a build thread, but I was thinking of starting one so I have a consolidated place of pics and info on all the maintenance I have done in addition to mods. Probably put it on vortex even though the Touareg forum is pretty dead.
@THEDLO88 The bumper is a reworked stock one. When I had the lowers painted, I had them fill the stock cutouts. I removed the part that filled where the trailer hitch went, trimmed about 1/2" of metal just inside, and that was it. And yeah, definitely hard to find wheels that aren't the same ones you always see on these. Might switch to some Rotiforms soon though.
@sjberg40 Once again it looks fabulous. I would like to straight pipe my touareg and was wondering how you did the pipes in the middle. Mine has a bar going across. It that important or can i cut it out?
@green68chevy I left mine there, I am using all the stock support points except for the one at the rear bumper. I think they used some BMW X5 mounts for that.
