Do you have any plans to also use a water methanol injection system for keepin that turbo nice and cool ? I dont remember you mentioning anything but just curious im about to install a water meth kit on a turbo application myself and was wondering if you had any experience with them.
I have a few updated pics.. got my exhaust tig welded.. and then the next day I painted it black!! anyways. here is my exhaust. just need to fit the tips on and get those welded.
No sorry SD.. have no experience with Meth kits.. I've seen them but never installed them or known anyone who used it. sorry.

Wicked! Looks great in black...Now dont knock it all off when you install^^...small bits of carpet are key!
It could be pretty loud!...I had that exact setup with another muffler in the middle and found it a tad loud in the cabin!...but i know your tastes.....
As Ross said,use the drain plug to supply the coolant for the turbo,but remember your creating a parallell path to the original,so where you return the coolant matters...IMO the closer to to the inlets of the pump the better!Is there a feed for cooling for the turbo too?

I just put the front section in and mid section in today. need to fit the rear section in and mark it for tip location. then get those welded on.
good tip with the carpet.. I used a large piece of cardboard.. worked too!
hmm.. you have me worried its going to be loud!! I dont want a recreation of when I had my Eisenmann race muffler on.. I got pulled over all the time for that being "too loud"! we shall see how it sounds first as is.. if I dont like it then I will have to add in a resonator. he he.. I like it loud.. but I want to be a bit more stealth then I used to be in my w202!! I want to be able to hear it.. but not hear it from 2km away!!

The turbo is going to muffle the exhaust somewhat, but don't rely on it.

The turbine will knock it back but It will be fairly loud outside the car for sure... It will be the drone inside which gets to you!...I put money on centre mufflers shortly^^

I think it will muffle a lot of the noise.
The only reason I say that the turbo will muffle a lot of the noise is because my buddies brother has a MK2 golf with a VR6 swap and a GT40 turbo.. he is running a side pipe (as its a drag car) no muffler or anything.. its not as loud as you would think for a car running a short pipe out of the side of the car.
I know it will be loud running, no cat in my car, 3" pipe from the turbo to the muffler and a straight through muffler.. it will be loud.. but I bet not as loud as my Eisenmann was! if its too loud.. then Paul will be right and I will be putting in a resonator! who's taking bets?!

Yeh i bet the eisenmann was loud,my first exhaust was a 2.5" straight through system on the original 230k setup...it was much louder than the turbo setup with 3". You will likey be ok with the outside noise...but if the drone gives you a headach it'll need centres!

An update for everyone.
I got my Aluminum parts back from the welders earlier in the week. got a few flicks to share- they will follow.
I am still waiting on my Samco hose order.. taken a lot longer than I was ever expecting.. I think I am at about 8 weeks now.. maybe longer. They are waiting for another order to be shipped out from the U.K. so I am still waiting on 2 more hoses, the ones they have, I have asked them to ship them out to me so I can hopefully get some of these parts in my car.
I have a couple things that I can do over this weekend. so I will work on what I can until the Samco order gets here.
Here are the Aluminum parts I had welded up, parts pictured are my boost pipe with 50mm BOV flange and custom integrated MAS, intake manifold with welded up inlet I wont be using, intercooler brackets, turbo air filter/inlet pipe with welded bung, coolant pipes, liquid intercooler "t" piece:

Hey Dude,

Using that larger port for the brake vac line turned out nice!

Not sure yet as I'm not finished! but I bet in the 5-7000 range.
still at a stand still as I'm waiting on 2 more samco hoses.. great hoses.. but it takes for freakin ever to get them from the uk.
I'm getting there! so much for driving it this year I think.
not too certain what band.. but for sure still going with stand alone. for now, just keep my stock ecu with the upsolute tune. should run fine on 10psi of boost.
yeh that brake booster vac line worked out great.. fits perfectly.

Slammed, does upsolute also do custom tunes or are you just using their canned 220hp tune?

awesome. I was looking at their site and they seem to be a better deal than powerchip. how much does it cost to have a custom one done? And how do they go about the process of making the tune? Do they send you a wideband and a data logger or what?
Completely mad.

The cost was the same as the normal Tune, they just tweeked the stock Upsolute tune to accomodate the mods I had on my car.
as for tuning, they will need to download the stock program from the ECU, make the modifications to the tue and then flash the computer with the new tune.
no data logging or wideband required.

sweet. I may be able to reach 300hp with boltons then, depending on how good their tune is, but they get 220hp and 251lbs of torque without any other mods so it's promising.

I honestly dont think you will be able to reach 300hp with the stock supercharger. with all the mods I did to my car (when it was supercharged) the best I could do was just under 200hp to the wheels and just over 200ft lbs of torque to the wheels. so for you to reach 300 (even at the engine), you my friend have a tall order ahead of you!

what did you do to your car? all the mods on the world are no good without a good tune to take advantage of it.
