This is from another forum, going from a 2.5" exhaust to a 3" exhaust. There was a little more boost added and the downpipe type was changed from a 2.5 split straight tube downpipe (this is for a gasser) to a 3" split bellmouth downpipe.
Quite an improvement! We cannot see how much was due to the exhaust diameter alone and not to the amount of gain is definitely more than just due to higher boost.
I saw that too. I think that they said it was also tuned. So for 70-100 ft lbs and hp gained, lets say, 50-70% of that was due to tuning and the ability to raise boost due to better exhaust. So about 30-50 hp and torque was due to the exhaust. This is all a guess, of course, since there is no apples-apples comparison.
for a 300zx twin turbo...upgraded fuel system, and upgraded turbos and supporting mods. It's a 3.0L gasser. This person had the car fine tuned and switched from a 2.5to a 3" exhuast so it's not an apples-apples comparo.
Yeah, just looking at it you can tell it's not a diesel. The powerband and the rpm range....I don't think there are any passenger car diesels that spin to 6600rpm His point was the exhaust upgrade.
I totally agree with you about the larger exhaust almost always being better on turbo cars, but again, this example is somewhat lessened due to the lack of an apples-apples.
I’ve found a 07 Audi A3 2.0T local to me in immaculate condition, except for the fact that it needs an engine. I currently own a mk4 ALH Golf TDI that’s too rotten to be worth fixing. Both cars are manual FWD transmissions. My question is whether or not I’d be able to swap the TDI engine into...
Hello, guys!
I've got a 1.9 TDI, 130HP (PD) and I've noticed some serious stuttering at cold start. It idles at around 980 RPM with revs bouncing, after a few kilometers, revs drop down to normal - 903 and it gets a little smoother but I still feel some of this stuttering upon acceleration, also...
Hi guys/gals.
5 years ago when I had my Golf GTD I printed out all 110 pages of data from AD for the Golf 2.0 TDI 2009 because that was the closest vehicle to mine. All the error codes printed out and it took an hour and a half 140 sheets, slow network printer. Some of you my know I make...

hello.... I am having a hot start problem with my BEW.... my torsion value is dead on a 0*... I moved the cam timing to see it the value would change and it did so I moved back to 0* since the car otherwise runs well with 44.9 mpg..... I noticed that if I disconnect the CTS it starts perfectly...
