You can get some good apps that record SPL in dBA for a reasonable comparison. Most people I speak to regarding this mod are looking for a bit more response (rather than power) but are concerned that it might make their refined R a bit too tuner-car-noise. SPL data might be a good sales tool. Keep up the great videos!
I have about 35 years of DIY auto mechanics, had a lot of cars that I had modified myself and installed race parts including Porsches, Subarus, Mustangs, Corvettes, etc. About a year ago I bought a 2016 MK7 GTi for my son wich I had installed a few race parts and done all the maintenance at home. All I can say that this little car is the most uncomfortable and more tight car that I had worked in all my life. But I love it!!!
Always take the tray out. It will make your life so much easier. Also, when you go to reassemble the new TMD, it works well to put the outlet coupler back on the new TMD and then install the new peice back into the turbo, then put the charge pipe in the coupler and then that will hold it in place while you fidget with putting the bolts back in place. Its like an extra hand holding it for you.
I did intake, inlet, and muffler delete today. Of course, I forgot my towel under the inlet for oil drip, so i tried to pick it out with a little hook tool, but i dropped it and I couldn't find it. So i jacked up the car to go under and find it. Took about 30 min to find as it was hidden above the LCA. So i got the towel out by removing the intake pipe (should have done this to begin with), but then forgot to reconnect the vacuum hose on the underside of the intake pipe 😂 what a day! One small thing caused a cascade of oops!
Just wanna jump in here... if anyone is expecting big changes to the sound of your turbo with this thing, don't. It allows a subtle high-pitched hiss to break through a bit more than stock, but that's it. Also, of course there are no performance gains either. Very subtle mod.
I know there is a Dyno graph of this mod for 5whp and 11wtq but I am very doubtful.... The engineering of that stock turbo muffler is finely tuned by the turbo manufacturer for harmonics. Maybe the stock one is designed to cancel out a certain resonance frequency and allow better flow. Who knows.... Hard to say now in days.
Thanks for the video. Looks like alot of work for not much gains IMO. Also for a DIY type mod I think this poses too much risk for boost leaks touching the charge pipe and turbo muffler.... I bought a CTS delete but I am going to sell it after watching this lol.
The benefits of doing this are minimal. But it definitely makes a difference in pull. The turbo is allowed to breath a bit better. Put a smile on my face.
So this is an easy mod, lets just tear apart everything in the engine compartment, just pull things but not to hard or you break stuff. Slide this, slide that, pull this out. Insert this, pull this, pop that... and boom!!! Try to rebuild it and have a small sound adjustment to your turbo...
Hi bro, congratulations for the video and since I'm also on the subject of modifications I wanted to ask you if this kit is applicable to a 2011 Audi TT8j3 1.8 tsi Thanks in advance
I was putting my muffler delete,and it was hanging out the turbo to much so I felt uncomfortable so I put the OEM back in.is it supposed to hang out more than the oem even tho you just said the forge on is a little longer?
Please could you let me know if the oem Turbo Muffler has a O ring? I had a Racingline turbo muffler delete which came with a oring on it for a year and I can’t remember if I needed an o ring for the original. I reinstalled the original but I just wanted to double check before I start having leaks. Thanks so much.
Hi..i love your vids...i would like to ask u a tip.. I have a Golf 7.5 Gti..revo stage 1 ... Airbox modded and drop filter..and muffler delete. I would like to add a racing line inlate hose and turbo inlate pipe...could be a good choice? I don't want to lose torque or power.... What do u think? Thanks
I have the 034 turbo muffler delete and I'm using one of the taps to run my boost gauge. I've noticed I'm not pulling any vacuum. Is this due to the location of the tap?
Hello. Currently trying to install this on cold engine and the new inlet with gasket seams too tight to fit in there.. was afraid it would stuck half way in. I had put it in the freezer overnight to try to shrink it and will oil and heat the turbo flange, i will try again tomorrow. Any tip?
thoughts on if the Neuspeed Turbo muffler delete with the high flow discharge piping kit seats as nice / flows as well as the Forge one? I just ordered that set up.
my factory turbo muffler oring broke apart when i removed the muffler. do i need it when i install the muffler delete? there's no part number for the oring.
This specific size and product, no. You will likely be able to get a muffler delete for the VRS however it depends on the turbo you're running; engine size and turbo model to be specific.
I fitted this with a inlet elbow and drop in filter. And Has a good bit of sound and not over the top. Also, this can be fitted with the battery in place 👍
Deutsche Auto Parts I'm a tech too... And I've put on cables so many times... Just to look to the side and see the battery insulation sitting on the side smiling at me. I was litterally talking to you through the screen hahaha.
gladius saif pretty sure you got what I got in my 2014 gli it's a gen3 e888 but not the same as he mqb car like this mk7.. and no it doesn't work.. seems like the comments say it's not worth it anyway
Any warranty concerns having a turbo muffler delete? I'm all for helping out the sound of the car but kind of want to protect against having warranty work being denied in the future.
This modification is actually beneficial to the longevity of the turbo. The stock piece creates back pressure on the turbo which degrades the turbo. The turbo muffler delete will reduce the back pressure not eliminate it but significantly decrease it which will improve airflow and reduce the stress on the turbo.
You should put a compressor or noise gate on your mic audio to avoid unwanted reverberation and delay inside your garage. It was just a little distracting. Just trying to help.
Why do you feel it necessary to use a rattle gun for every bolt.... you could of had the battery tray on just as fast with the ratchet. I thought it might be you just flexing becuase you had one but then i realised it was bosche.... so no point flexing.

Cool
Oh no i watched this whole diy vid and there is no sound before and after? Maaan .. Good work though
I hear ya! Such an obvious thing to do and is criminal not to do so.. grrrrrrr
Man! That's the only thing I came to watch ahha. That's a selling point too, can't skip on things like that.
Because theres no difference
Thank you for not letting me waste my time waiting for the sound comparison
@@BadlandSymphony I should have read these comments first. Would have saved me skipping through it.
Before and after sound clip would have been good but otherwise great video.
Sorry its really tough to get sound clips like that to compare. Thanks for watching!

Deutsche Auto Parts does the turbo delete come with an o ring in the kit?

Too much work for nothing...unless you like bleeding knuckles, dropping screws, and possibly breaking connectors and oh yeah, swearing a lot.
they make a great bendy driver, that makes reaching around those weird angles a breeze!!! you can damn near screw at 180 degrees.... thank me later :)

very correct! Only will, may make a difference around if any at stage 2
Thanks for the feedback. We really appreciate it

do you know if it voids any warrantys ?
Thomas Rock thanks for the quick response sir !!
With open intakes, the turbo hiss is marginally louder, heres a vid with sound clips ua-cam.com/video/7iZlAQw1SGY/v-deo.html
How else wants to hear there TSI, TDI have the chooooooooooooo sound when they back of like a big boosted truck 🙌
@ 4:13. What is the part number for that lil cover panel you took off. I'd like to have one. Keep up the great videos man. 👍🏽
Seems like a lot of work for little to no reward.
19:09 "this one should free flower" ?
Thanks for the video. Looks like alot of work for not much gains IMO. Also for a DIY type mod I think this poses too much risk for boost leaks touching the charge pipe and turbo muffler.... I bought a CTS delete but I am going to sell it after watching this lol.
It does help lol and won’t have boost leaks if do it right I got one and did it and worth the buy 1000%

Nope, no tiene nada de diferencia en power, solo en sonido.
@@Truckerboy809incorrect, dyno testing suggests around 6bhp increase.
You forget the battery blanket :)
that part its just a waste of time and money plus he forgot tu put the battery cover👎👎

The more I see this intake to more I don’t want to buy it.. such a pain in the ass
Video was helpful but not about the muffler delete. Thanx for the insight ✌
The new pipe should “free flow-er” he says. Convincing.
Hi bro, congratulations for the video and since I'm also on the subject of modifications I wanted to ask you if this kit is applicable to a 2011 Audi TT8j3 1.8 tsi

I was looking forward on hearing it 🤷🏻♂️

Anyone reading this hoping for sound increases: your best bet is to get a diverter valve spacer. Itll give you that BOV sound at high rpms
hmm... it seems to easy find for 2.0 gti or for the ea211 but why not for mk6 1.4tsi ea111
Forgot to put the battery cover back on 🤦🏻♂️😂

ARGH PAUL WHY YOU NO START CAR
Is this plug and play ?
This device is totally worthless
Turbo inlet pipe good for flow but without the flex bellows, durability of the hose is compromised due to engine movement
Tan N you mean keep the stock inlet accordian hose?
Baumbach Centers
my factory turbo muffler oring broke apart when i removed the muffler. do i need it when i install the muffler delete? there's no part number for the oring.
Bro you forgot to install battery cover
these cars look annoying as shit to work on
Why not clean the parts that you removed before reassembling them?
I have a partial video of me installing that on a 2013 Audi A4 (b8 & b8.5
Do these really bring anything to the party?
Lucile Stream
Thanks for this video! This is very timely. I am getting ready to do this to mine.
Was there No audio of the car after the install??
Donny Fields
How did they accomplish this without losing the narrow o ring? It was a pain in the butt to get lined up in the groove.
very nice camera angle....
Queen Roads
Before and after dyno pull and sound?
Do all turbo deletes come with o rings? Just that I’m thinking about buying a used one and there’s no mention of an o ring
There has to be something to seal the boost
Dang you got lucky the o-ring stayed in place! Did you go back and reinstall the battery cover? Or decided to leave it off?
+2of2DCH it's off for now. This car will be going back to stock soon.
will i have a boost leak if I don't have the oring? it broke :/
Alvin A mine feel off too. What did you do?
So the original o ring around the turbo muffler stays on?
Great video.. Will it fit to golf R mk7 turbo..!?
+Meddi Al-Mandhari yes same part for the R
Great camera work..................
Can i fit it on my 1.2 tsi??
Before and after sound??????
You did all that work for 2 hp lmao. Pass.
Its just for turbo sound, wasnt made for power
you're an idiot. 25 min of his time and look how many people use this video and prob bought from DAP now.
Would this work on a Skoda Octavia VRS (2018)
This specific size and product, no. You will likely be able to get a muffler delete for the VRS however it depends on the turbo you're running; engine size and turbo model to be specific.
Wonderful and informative! Great vid
I fitted this with a inlet elbow and drop in filter. And Has a good bit of sound and not over the top. Also, this can be fitted with the battery in place 👍
True, but so much easier tho to spend the few mins to remove the battery.
RIP battery blanket
Sound clip?!?
Another excellent video. Thanks for posting
Battery blanket
And the horizontal bolt for the tray!
Just didnt show it
It will be going back when the car is put back to stock

Rick Johnson i missed that
Wtf no rev?
Would this fit the 7.5R????
And inlet pipe ? 🤔
You forgot the battery cover.
Does it brings more Horsepower ?
I got bord
so many steps you did not have to take lol
should have just pulled the motor mufler delete is a joke
Do you recommend it for my 2014 beetle R line??? And does it differs from this one???
gladius saif pretty sure you got what I got in my 2014 gli it's a gen3 e888 but not the same as he mqb car like this mk7.. and no it doesn't work.. seems like the comments say it's not worth it anyway
no sound demo?
Don't you need a flex pipe section between intake and turbo hoses to provide for movement?
Thats why the hoses aren’t solid pieces…
Sounds video before and after???????
What type/size of impact are you using? Seems much lighter than mine

Get a nameless one that looks stock and nobody will know
Seems a lot of the reviews I've seen have said that it a turbo muffler delete doesn't do add much sound at all. I probably won't bother.
Mk7 turbo elbow
Any Nm settings for the muffle bolts and charge clamps?
Thats a completly useless modification. And the worst is, the engine will sound like a normal car, bye bye nice engine sound.
This mod is to remove the turbo sound muffler, not add it.
Nice engine sound? You mean the artificial sound from your speakers?
Daniel Tubbs if you would have one, and hear the difference would know what i mean
This modification is actually beneficial to the longevity of the turbo. The stock piece creates back pressure on the turbo which degrades the turbo. The turbo muffler delete will reduce the back pressure not eliminate it but significantly decrease it which will improve airflow and reduce the stress on the turbo.

Does Forge make the high flow hose in red?
Yes they do. We have a drop down for the red one on our site. Link in desc
Thank you sir shortly after I realized one main factor. I have an FSI

It's called an impact. Most professional mechanics use them for basically all work on cars regardless of time saved or complexity.
is the forge stuff actually better than racingline?
No waya
I bought my muffler delete kit from Lowe’s. It was shaped sort of like a jigsaw and worked great.
Negative stays on the longest. Goes on first, comes off last. Reduced risk of arcing and possibly damaging the battery
Riley Reeves wrong!
BOV on a mk7?
