Really appreciate how honest you guys are showing the small gains opposed to just trying to take the extra £
personally I rather hire people who are real and know wtf they are saying, over people who just say "yep" to everything and do a shite job without the ability to even explain to you what they did.
I've read that you need to increase fuel delivery to really pull anything more out of them.
Thanks Darkside for the informative and no BS information 👍🏼 cannot wait to see these turbos get fitted and how well they do 😍
Your channel would blow up if you got hold of a v12 q7 new turbos and tuned it 😈🚀🚀🚀
why? there are only 44 q7 on mobile.de with the v12 and about 2400 bitdi .. so I see no market for that..
Maybe we will!
@@xdragosx not a lot of people change to bigger turbos on the v12 tdi thats why
@@anermly86 Because those are pretty big as is. Sure you can get hybrids for those but what gearbox are you gonna put behind some 700HP and 1400Nm engine? Just too much work, would be nice but..
Just imagine if you were able to make the same bhp/L as the Arosa with the v12😉
Mate that new exhaust is a work of art😋
Nice work on the pipes ,and that whistle is mad, keep up with the great content, and hope your all well, cheers
I dont even like diesels, although I own TT TDI as a mile muncher, but I love your videos for the nerdy tech detail you guys go into, big thumbs up
Very nice work guys.
This is going to be my next car so looking forward to seeing how it turns out
Impressive diffrence between Software delete and only Dpf delete.
Wow those down pipes look fab quality and beautifuly made.
Ha, I see what you did there
Pun intended?
Hello lovely looking exhaust !great job👍
Buy a v12 q7 please!
Professional good to see
Roll on Hybrid Turbos...... So I can see where I can get my SQ5 too.
Top man Ryan top content hurry up with the next video lol
The car screams to have the Active Sound removed from the exhaust
Yeah we will do this too.
Yea it's disgusting 😬😬
Tnx for awnsering a question i had for so long.
explains why they told me it's not worth the extra money/time to do dpf delete and refit again everytime you need MOT . (Tuners in Netherlands/Belgium)
It's only worth deleting if it's failed really
@@ryanp6138 Or if you want to push big power. EMP and EGTs will be an issue with larger turbos and DPF restriction.
Love the plate
Got me arrested, haha
Awesome!!!!
I Love this sound. Is it Street legal in UK?
Those wheels really suit the car
The Bentley wheels look pretty good on the C7.
Is there any more of the content on the BiTdi coming? Love the videos. I own a similar car like this one.
Yes, very soon!
@@DarksideDevelopments i saw in one of your videos that you’d adjust the airbox, isnt it better to take just an rs6/rs7 airbox and put it on there as its slightly bigger has better volume, and has the holes drilled in already. And it fits without moddification
I hope we still get a video tomorrow!!
Be patient my friend! Haha
Next car this, have 2.7tdi stage 1, this is different level tho. Next year, bringing it straight to you at darkside
Get the LED headlights on it. Guaranteed it will look amazing with em.
Them there turbo's sound VERY whistley!
Sounds pretty good to me,something a bit different is always good.
I was surprised that there was only a 2 HP difference after all that. A decent software upgrade seems to be the most economical move on these diesels. Improved my TRQ and HP nicely on my 2014 Audi 3.0 TDI
It would have made more of a difference if the stock DPF was blocked more but you are still only regaining the lost bhp rather than gaining more by removing it. A remap is most definitely the best bhp for £
@@DarksideDevelopments I agree. Then the difference could have been huge. How did you find things with the air box? I saw where you were talking about opening up the front and putting the space with holes, (which to me would have been easier just to drill a few holes). Notice anything? I kept stock airbox but am using a Pipercross filter. Really no difference that I can tell
@@johnjerrehian4642 We have not modded the airbox yet but we did remove the airbox completely while on the dyno and this made no difference. The holes or vent may have more of an effect on the road (there must be a reason the RS models have this as standard)
@@DarksideDevelopments Great info. Thank you! I was interested to see if the additional air, (from the holes like the RS models) made a difference. However, the displacement of those engines are typically larger and under WOT may need more air than the standard airbox can deliver- Hence the holes. Maybe the 3.0 TDI's are getting all the air they need via standard airbox? Love to hear what you think as well as any difference with the holes in the airbox, (besides noise). Plus, your TDI produces a lot more power than mine. Stk form US 240 HP 428 TRQ. Race Chip on 7- 283 HP and 515 TRQ per Race Chip.
Have heard these sound like GTRs with the right mods.
Mad for diesels was hats for sure
:)
"should make it quite a bit noisier" 3 ich.... THAT'S PLENTY OF GIRTH.
that sounds like hoover :-D
is that the turbo noise after the kat and dpf is out its annoying 🙈
Nice, easy access on that!
Hi. Love your informative videos mate. I have a 2013 A6 3.0bitdi and I was wondering if just removing the cat would help backpressure and egt's for longevity. I can't remove dpf due po po watching and sniffing in my necks of the woods.
The DPF is always the biggest restriction but if healthy we leave them alone
@@DarksideDevelopments how amyn hours did it take to change downpipe? i wanna do it at home on audi a7 tdi
Reyt then. 👌🏼
yo that would be such a sick engine to swap into a 300zx just to say "yeah it's the 3.0 v6 twin turbo....... but diieeezzeellllllll"
i found the sound instantly arousing. yes.
I dont see one thing. Heat wrap on downpipe. Everything else is great.
Pretty sure the heat shields are good enough
Down pipe is colder than kat and dpf.
I'l show this to my dad....maybe he will get a bitdi:))....ryan,a small question,i see allot of diesels that smell like shit when driving behind them,is that injectors fucked or do the diesel catalists help keeping the smell in check,thanks! Keep up the good work!
How is that going To pass mot or tuv inspection or whatever its called In states?
HI guys, love your vids! I am looking out for one of these, either an a6 comp or an m550d, which one should I go for? Can't make up my mind.
It's down to personal choice. The X5 does have a higher driving position, which a lot of drivers prefer, certainly I do with X5's and Amaroks.
@@DarksideDevelopments I was talking about the 5 series f11 model m550d. I am not realy into jeeps or it's gotto be something realy special like a Lenoir wrangler or something.
Ah that makes sense. It's still personal choice. Some here prefer BMW and others Audi. They are both great cars, the BMW probably looks the sportier.
You guys are awesome! Wish I lived there so I can bring in my A3 8p 2.0L for a custom exhaust and better map. Unfortunately I'm from the states. I do know you guys sell remap software...any companies in the states do the awesome work you do?
plenty of good dealers of ours in the USA!
@@DarksideDevelopments Can you name drop a few. I will however be ordering a remap from you. Thanks DSD
@@dannyrocket77 Our dealers can be found here - www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/dealer-map/
@@DarksideDevelopments how amyn hours did it take to change downpipe? i wanna do it at home on audi a7 tdi
Just out of curiosity, Why not fit a pair of racing/ sport dpf as shown on you're web? Surley the temps would be still lower then originally mentioned?! Or, just removing the dpf completely could could lower the temperature a bit more? It would be better or worse with those sports/ racing dpf🤔🤔? THANKS 😊 👍
Yeah it would be lower than stock but noting is 100% legal other than stock so its no different to us!
i mostly hear the sound composer speaker !?
I have a question. Is it a must to delete the cat or I can only delete dpf and leave the rest parts stock (except software)
better to leave the DPF and take the CAT out if you don't want to do software.
Seen your vehicles floating around a lot on t internet the last year or so, I have a question, if I had all the mods done that you did to your red A5 you had last year, how the flaming hell would I get it past MOT pencil pushers? Would it be as simple as doing absolutely everything I can but slapping a high flow DPF in? Or just leave original DPF and hope it still sounds and performs well?
Put the DPF back in for the test, the sound won't be good with it in!
@@DarksideDevelopments Ah thought as much, it’s never that simple aha, thank you very much! Will be down soon when I make my next purchase and we’ve gone back to some normality 🤙🏻
We carried on as normal regardless
@@DarksideDevelopments Fair play, same here, but had to downgrade to the missus’ smart car and bench the Impreza for a bit 😅 getting the A5 back to its glory soon and then start modding it with yourselves when I can, I’ll be in touch soon lads, keep the content coming! 🤙🏻
I've got the same pipes on my car and the ones i ordered didn't have the darkside logo facing down, it's facing up🤷🏼♂️ @5:05
sorry!
Are you doing a cold air intake ? Better sounding exhaust?
we have a few ideas
My man's got a cold
I'd remove the cat and dpfs just for the sound alone!
Agreed lolol
Why no gtr sound 🤣 some of those v6 Audi's sound amazing with no dpf and a straight pipe. Is it the back boxes
the 2 turbo's silence it a lot
@@DarksideDevelopments why does it sound like a whining noise that come from the turbo`s?
How different is the ZF8 in this A6 to the tiptronic in the A4 B9 V6 3.0 tdi 272hp?
Same really
Another question guys. I heard you talking about the car failing MOT with the downpipes, even with a remap. I had a couple fast diesels and had them tuned, bigger turbo, intercoller, complete straight trough exhaust and a remap, CO2 was just fine at MOT because my tuner tunes it a certain way it doesnt blow too much CO2 when it's not under load, they don't test them under load over here dunno how it is over there?
We don't have any issues with emissions, it's the visual inspection when the emission controls are removed
@@DarksideDevelopments ow ok yeah same here. We have to change em for mot every time.
You need also a Software and a good complet exhaust system, because with the original exhaust comes nothing out!!!!
Buy an A8 4.2 TDI/BiTDi.That thing is a beast.
Can you run just the cat delete pipe and keep the EGR system active? Obviously tune it, but will this effect EGR function?
Yes you could
@@DarksideDevelopments awesome! And thanks for the very quick reply
Hi Darkside. I have a 2014 Golf GTD. CUNA 184ps. I have done a dpf delete and I'm having some funny issues. Mostly some smoking when under hard acceleration. I think this has something to do with the DPF pressure sensors... My question is are these needed or not? Is there anything I can do to stop this without getting retuned again. I have gotten it tuned and it's from Topgear tuning.
Crap tune
@@ryanp6138 I'll go have it looked at then mate. I have stage 1 dpf and egr removed. Might just get him to bang in the stage 2 dpf and egr, most people would be doing that anyways so it'd probably be tested more
Are there any errors or warning lights when doing a DPF delete?
Nope, not if the software is robust!
So was it by chance that you got a number plate saying 'The Diesel' in Welsh?
It was by chance
Just sub diesel lover i have ml 400 cdi very Nice i need to put also exhaust
I never had problem with MOT after DPF removed MOT done on 3 different places
I don't know but dhis have euro 5 or 6 emissions test.
When will be more videos on this bitdi?
Soon!
Did you loosen the steering racket to get the cat out?
It's not required 👍
Does this enigne Hold up a stage 1 software, and gearbox tune well. With stock hardware? Appx. 370ps?
We discuss the power output in this video
@@DarksideDevelopments but can the standard hardware hold up a software tune, or is the bitdi better to keep standard
What is the calculated power loss at the wheels for 395fwhp?
Might be 340-350whp
Where can o get this kit from? Looking for ome for a 2016 a7 bitdi s line blqck edtion

Good job..shame dat still have the speakers in the exhaust . 😂
Hi, my car had a remap and the guy claimed that I could get 195bhp from my engine. But he also said if he did a cut gut and shut on the DPF, there was another map he could put on. This map without the DPF would give me 215bhp. Does that sound right on my engine that is a 143bhp 2.0tdi A4 engine code CAGA? I read somewhere that the most you should push out of it is around 180bhp. Anything over that is over doing it and risky. Is that true? Very good video by the way, always interesting thanks 👍
185hp is about right
According to germans the top from turbo is Cat the bottom 2 are DPF. Confirm deny??
Yep
Q7 4.2tdi please
What’s the fine over there if you’re court without a DPF?, $10k in Sydney 😬
That’s crazy! I’m not sure if you get anything in Finland except fail your mot.
If the MOT tester notices the dpf has been tampered wiith then that's an MOT failure.
how amyn hours did it take to change downpipe? i wanna do it at home on audi a7 tdi
Probably around 5-6 hours to do these. Maybe longer if you are doing this on your drive
I need same kind a pipes to my audi!
Links are in description 👍
When are the hybrids coming
On but not happy!
Are u sure what pipe is what? I know that the (double pipe) are the dpf is.
The top is CAT, bottom DPF
come on guys, give this car some hybrid turbos 😫 cant wait more🙈🤷♂️
It has them, they did not work as planned!
@@DarksideDevelopments any video update on it soon? Looking to go hybrid turbo route myself. Trying to find out if its worth going hybrid turbos and what other limitations are there that needs upgrading I'd imagine injectors would be one of them.
On one of you other videos you guys mentioned the air box modification either from the front grill or small cut out mod from the the top. I have seen alot of people just replace the airbox with an c7 Rs6/7 box.
Looking to make a 500-550hp build but not much info on it in UK. There are few companies based in Eastern Europe that have gone hybrid route and achieved these numbers but its hard to find detailed info on what has been modified and upgraded.
Can't wait for your next update. Hopefully the turbo issues is resolved.
how do you get 90mm downpipe?is BEST.
76 mm os not good.
Please send proof!
So basicly , The cat is before the DPF
So the DPF is the 2 Down under the car that you removed?
I want to remove mine 2
Yeah the 2 underneath are the DPF
@@DarksideDevelopments so no dif in poser basicly by just removing the dpf
question! My friend bought a wagner ic for his bitdi, it did not fit tho.. he had to reweld 2 spots that interfered with a pipe and something else.. does you own ic fit bolt on as said or is it the same as the wagner? i saw that the measurements were around the same but the price was like 50% off! thx :)
I had the Darkside intercooler on my A7 BITDi recently - direct perfect fit. 100% recommend.
@@telf009 good to hear! my friend only took the wagner since it was some longer delivery on their own one. what year was the car?
@@thorsten_7354 I can confirm I had the same problem, I took a big vise grip and bend it 20mm and fitted perfect, I can confirm that pipe is coated in rubber and you wont damage anything, hope that helps for future
@@dan5pot i see.. got me thinking, since the price is around 750 for wagner, quite pricy comparing to darksides, and they seem the same!
@@thorsten_7354 they look the same but believe me they are not, you get what you pay, I got the car mapped, measured 306/640nm stock and after fitting the intercooler and map I got 400bhp/830nm , egt running not mad temp
You know led lights for camera?
What sort of software adaptation needed to make that cat off ?
none for the CAT, ECU software for DPF.
V12 tdi pleasee
what is the labor time for this swap?
Roughly 4 hours
I would have been happy if you show us a fly by and accelerate. maybe you'll remember it for next time
...
We sure will!
@@DarksideDevelopments and nice car by the way (Y)
Sound chick at 7:59
BHP and Torque numbers are great can we get some more real world numbers for each level of mod please? What I mean 0 to 60mph before and after in gear acceleration 30 to 60, 50 to 70, 1/4 mile times that sort of thing?
We have done this in a previous video
Do you guys sell a single turbo downpipe ?
For what car?
@@DarksideDevelopments 2014 Single Turbo TDI Audi A7, American model
Yes please email the VIN, we sent a lot of them to the USA
Why delete EGR, its ment to be there and clean gases. Does it improve hp for example if I do simple chip and delete EGR does it improve hp over chip with EGR?
It stops the engine self destructing
Do you get much drone with this?
No drone at all
Can this kit be fitted to a SQ5?
Yes
whats the music in the background :)

cam you do a more specific video how to get the particle filter/ katts down? i’ve tried 7,5 hour and can get it you, it gets struck between engine and steering bar
We are RHD so easier!

@@DarksideDevelopments Great!Subbed,really good quality vids.
I don’t really understand the details all I know is I want it all on mine!
Is it louder straight pipe or down pipe
The downpipe gives a big increase in sound. (Straight pipe is a term used when there's no silencers, Catalyst or DPF)
Sound exhoust ??? loud i want to hear it.
Stupid question. What if you remove EGR/DPF and then MOT comes up?
You have a problem!
@@DarksideDevelopments So you're going to have to put the DPF back on to MOT it? Legally
@@djfld2394 that's what we do.
Why does the turbo sound so much louder? And my car is smoking that much.... and the turbo is very loud!! It needs to go back to get the software sorted out.... can I damage the car if I’m driving it while it’s smoking like that?
