My understanding is you don't necessarily need the race pipe. You can just use the egr valve and block it off, plus the shutter valve on there could potentially save a run away.
Awesome video, definitely gonna be rewatching this when i delete mine. Also fun little tidbit that little module thing at 8:54 is the dpf pressure differential sensor. Not that it matters, just recognized it from having to replace several of em on takeuchis and GEHLs lol
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! That makes sense! Not a sensor this little VW will ever have to worry about now lol. Hope the video helps when you start the process
Just jump into it, it took me about a day start to finish. Would’ve been shorter if I would’ve just taken the sawzall out sooner with cutting the DPF out
Great video. Does the EGR cooler have to come out to get to the manifold to install the block-off plate? My Darkside kit came with 3 plates. One for the EGR, one for the manifold, and one for the EGR cooler. Thanks
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! No sir, but I would recommend pulling it out anyways. The block off plate for the manifold is the worst one to do by far. Everything on top of the DSG has to come out as well as some intercooler piping. I ended up having to do it as the cross over tube broke from vibration
Hey can you provide links to all the parts and piece you bought for this whole project such as the hoodstack, delete kits, tune, and more. Sorry for asking for so much but this would be extemely appreciated and helpfull
I apologize for the late reply. The race pipe and hood stack links are in the description of this video. All of the tuning info can be found on the following video: ua-cam.com/video/_fx8RCOB1mU/v-deo.htmlsi=1HjDP92mVAduX3Cf You will be able to order everything from the websites mentioned in the video The delete "kit" for the EGR cooler with all of the block off plates and what not is included in the description of this video: ua-cam.com/video/UjvVYHfVITM/v-deo.htmlsi=FL4ZtRm0ayrwzzOr Thanks, and make sure to like and sub to the channel!
Dude, I applaud you for doing this. I recently did an EGR and DPF delete with the intercooler bypass on my 2012 jetta. Getting that wrap-around pipe off was a huge ordeal. Instead of a hood stack, I installed a Buzzken down-pipe and Stage 2 tune. The car runs great. My only question: I still have a check engine light on and the coily caution light on, even after the tune. Did you get them to turn off?
Hey man, thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it, make sure to like and sub to the channel to help us grow! Did you happen to remove the ASV as well? If so, the following video explains what is happening: ua-cam.com/video/hYIxS3N8OyQ/v-deo.html Who did you get the tuning through? Email them and ensure that they tuned the ASV out, additionally run the codes through the OBDII to see what the car is telling you
So i had a turbo go out, if im replacing the turbo at the same time im doing the hood stack should I just put the block off plate on the manifold since the turbo and manifold are all one assembly? I commented on your other video as well. I have a 2010 tdi jetta
Or I guess what I’m trying to ask. Is where does that hose go that you blocked off? Since I have to remove the existing turbo is it better if I block it off wherever that hose is going to the back?
Hey man, I saw each one of your comments. First off - I appreciate you commenting, make sure to like and sub to the channel! To answer your question, there is a flange that will come off of the driver side of the manifold that the cross over tube bolts to. When you remove the cross over tube from there, you will install the block off plate right there. If you are not pulling the EGR out you will also have to put a block off plate on the EGR. If you are running a race pipe like mine, there is no need for a block off plate at the EGR but still 100% necessary at the manifold. Does that help?
How the heck do you clear the space to remove the intercooler? Did you hae to remove the turbotcharger? I have no room. the Turbo charger bracket that is in the way and the axle (removed the 6 botls for the axle to get DPF out.
Hey man, thanks for the comment! Make sure to like and sub to the channel! Unthread it almost all the way, throw the plug into the hole, get it started to tighten with a regular ratchet, and then hit it with an electric impact. That is the way that I did it and if I remember correctly it took a little convincing to get it in the hole. Whatever you do, dont put any oil on it. Rather put hairspray on it if it still is giving you trouble. The hairspray will dry and become tacky unlike oil

I had to get someone to hold the stack from the bottom while I had the bolt all the way threaded out and it still took some convincing to get it started. I would recommend trying to do it that way. Have someone hold it and then sort of pry the bottom of the v-band clamp onto both flanges. Best of luck, it took me a few hours of fighting with it by myself to finally call someone to help
I have a 2015 vw Passat I’ve bought all the parts but I can’t find an egr delete “race pipe” for a 2015 the year cutoff for all these parts are 2014 same thing with the turbo muffler delete and everything I ever try to buy for the 2015 tdi

Hey man thanks for the comment! Make sure to like the video and sub to the channel! I did not drain all of the coolant before removing the EGR cooler. Reason being, is I knew that I would be doing a timing belt very soon so no need to replace it all just to replace it all again a few months down the road. I disconnected the hoses from the cooler and let coolant drain from there which was not all of it. 1/2 gallon - gallon if I had to guess. As for the block off plate, I re-used the multi-layer steel gasket that I pulled off when removing the cross over pipe. If I had to guess, the aluminum side would go to the manifold and the cork side would go to the block off plate. I hope that helps!
Thanks for the response, I'm also planning on getting new seals for the turbo drain tube since it has to be removed and it's 12 years old anyways I'm honestly assuming that the turbo drain tube has seals
@ Yes sir. The top flange with both of the torques has a multi-layer steel gasket which I wouldn’t worry about. The bottom that has the large bolt that goes back into the oil pan has an o-ring if I remember correctly. I did replace that when I did mine

Hi Taylor, thanks for the comment! Make sure to give the channel a like and subscribe if you don’t mind! Are you talking about the triple square sockets?
So I’m confused. I have deleted a mk7. But this one is weird. So the EGR kit you have is for a 1.9. The race pipe is different on a 2.0 mk6 which is what I have and I’m deleting it. But when I look for the kits it’s showing a race pipe that bolts in both sides.
Hey man, thanks for the comment! Make sure to like and sub to the channel if you found the video helpful! Truthfully it depends on what exactly you get. I got the "race pipe" which consists of removing both the EGR and the ASV. If you remove just the EGR (which sits between the ASV and the intake) you will have a bolted flange on each side. One flange will bolt to the intake and the other to the ASV. If you remove both EGR and ASV (like I opted to do) you will have one bolted flange that bolts to the intake and the other will be a slip on flange for the intercooler piping. I hope that helps!
Hey my girlfriend gave me her 2013 TDI with a bad turbo. Dealership are SOB they tried to ripped her off. So I got it now as a freebie as long as I buy and replace the turbo….. yeah bro it’s a pain in the ASS, freaking Hitler revenge!!!!!! So I’m not familiar with TDI since I’m about to removed the bad turbo, what’s the purpose for deleting all that?! Gain HP or just for looks, I’m curious to know, I’m a Subaru and Honda guy, so any information would be highly appreciated! Video time 15:32 bro, you could have avoided that issue by just unbolting the subframe bolts to about a 1/4 on all of them and that hideous thing could have been snake out….just saying you could have save it and sell it out, you never know who would need a replacement👌
The purpose of a delete on these cars from what I've gathered is mostly for sound, reliability, power gains and supposedly a bit better fuel economy as well. Haven't deleted mine yet but will be soon before the dpf has a chance to plug up or something and put me out of service for awhile
Subframe bolts are a 1 time use TTY bolt. You would have to replace all the bolts that you loosened also it would throw off your front end alignment. You would then have to get the car aligned. Best not to take anything loose. The DPF WILL come out in one piece. It's tight but it will come out without cutting.
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! Just going to sort of re-iterate what was said in the previous two comments. Mine through a check engine light for the DPF, at that point I knew it needed replacing. That was the main driver behind deleting but also MPG, HP, and reliability as there are less parts in the car that can go bad now. As far as the subframe, that is exactly what I didnt drop it. Bringing the sawzaw out was much easier than having to go and buy new bolts for it and get the car re-aligned. I did not feel like fighting with it anymore so cutting was the way for me. Like always, there are most definitely more than one way to skin a cat. I hope you are liking your TDI so far, I love mine
Hi Cole, I see both of your comments. I will answer both of them on this. To your first question - yes, I put the oil line back on the turbo it is a vital component for sure. For the coolant spill question - yes, I did spill coolant all over. A little more that I expected actually, get ready to change your shirt when it starts running down your arm. I appreciate you commenting, give us a like and sub to help us grow!
My understanding is you don't necessarily need the race pipe. You can just use the egr valve and block it off, plus the shutter valve on there could potentially save a run away.
