Yet Another DIY GTM TT Install

RCZ

Hope the car is faster than this thread is moving.

Looks great Nick! I might be in NY soon, maybe I stop by to see it!

wow nice garage set up. This looks fairly easy to do just seems time consuming.

back with a massive update after a bit of a hiatus! Check the first page for new pictures and a start up video.

The car is now running, it started up immediately with no issues. I had to fix 3 or 4 coolant leaks, the passenger side banjo fitting for the coolant feed kept leaking, I finally got it to stop but nearly stripped the damn thing, what a bitch that was.

Remaining TODO:

Swap differentials
Install catback
Install gauges

Wow it sounds so good without the exhaust lol. So that's how you can hear the turbos spool?

thanks guys! the car sounds pretty beastly with no exhaust, I could imagine someone running some straight pipes on a TT. You can hear the turbos spool quite easily like this, but you can also actually hear a bit of compressor surge at the end of the video. The BOV's closed before the air had fully escaped, I think they might need a weaker inner spring, I'm going to call Sam today and find out what springs they are using.

Ron and Digi have you heard any compressor surge with your kits?

I have been driving mine with no exhaust for a little while as I wait for my new one to get here and I don't see a point in putting my stock one back on. It sure is loud but it's got such a unique sound. It's fun for a bit but gets old fast. I should have my new one this week.

I've only heard that sound when I let off the gas at very low boost. ~ 2psi. I always figured it was just the BOV's chattering a bit.

Yeap. I get some fluttering at very low boost too.

Yeah it's really not good for the turbos, at least yours have anti-surge built in
