mk5_tdi's build

[Fatherless One]

WOW !!

Can you share the wheel info (sizes, offset etc), very very nice, congratulations !!!

[Fatherless One]

Okay, google is my friend

They're called Mondial's and were fitted to some Land Rovers it seems, 18 x 8", 5 x 120 stud pattern and offset ET57.

Can you give me the contact info for the adaptors you bought, any other info appreciated.

[Tdi boy]

How's your exhaust run...
Cat then muffler only?
Or cat then straight through the whole way no muffler.

Sounds really good btw.

im not 100% sure but im 99% sure its straight all the way through, turbo back.

[Mysticality]

Thanks mate

Also for all those wondering got a video of the exhaust noise, completely straight through

Whats it like on idle and normal driving?
I want something thats nuts when I put my foot down but a 'little more refined' than a Commodore when highway/coming down the driveway at 2am.

Yeah sorry mate currently overseas so not checking forums much, until today as I ended up being sick
Adapters are from Adaptec Speedware in the US, about $320iirc delivered for a set of 4 which has studs and bolts to mount to hubs
You will need to source Land Rover nuts too though
Final specs for mine are now 18x8 +30 all round

TBH you don't notice it to be that noisy when the windows are up while driving, but apparently from the outside it is a little loud
imo though is just go straight through, if your worried run a cat but most aftermarket downpipes are made without cats anyway

Alternatively - leave the DPF in?...
TDI CR

[mk5_tdi]

ah DPF, well that's a bit harder as the 103tdi's don't come with DPF so even when you remove the cat you don't get a CEL error
Best to talk to Gavin from Custom Code about that if you plan on removing, as I know milltek do a DPF removal downpipe too, well for Golf's at least

Possibly my favourite MK5 in Aus? It's the colour that does it!
