Installing a Catless pipe in 2010 Audi A4 2.0T

  • In this video I show you the process involved in running a catless test pipe in a 2010 Audi A4 with the 2.0T engine. For this job you'll need a deep 15mm socket with a universal/swivel attachment to get the lower inside turbo to catted pipe nut. With the right tools and patience to let the car cool down before working on it this job can be done with relative ease. For best results you will need to change the tune on your car to work with the catless pipe. With the catalytic converter removed you'll be able to target higher boost levels and make more torque and horsepower.

    so did the Ie stage 2 take your check engine light away, im not sure why no one wants to answer this question.

    • @Calvinm
      @Calvinm  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The tune you load on is responsible for making the check engine light go away. There are a couple different methods of ensuring the check engine light that relates to cat efficiently doesn’t show up. Most tunes do something like removing that fault code or not having the car intake the information from the downstream O2 sensor. The tune on this car is for a catless car and therefore did not throw a check engine light with this exhaust set up. Hope this helps answer your question.

    I got the stock turbo on my A4 B8 could I do this and put a stage 1 or 2 tune on it without blowing the turbo?

    • @Calvinm
      @Calvinm  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Anytime you force the turbo to produce more boost than stock you will shorten the life of the turbo. How short will its life be is anyone's guess. With that said the stage two tune is meant for the stock turbo so it should be alright for a reasonable amount of time if you've done the other supporting mods like intercooler and maintenance. Stage two would be ideal for a catless setup over stage one. Best of luck!

    • @wickedhemroids2811
      @wickedhemroids2811 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Really it depends how you drive it. If you are racing it around all the time then yes or very least you will destroy the diverter valve on the turbo. Drive it normally and play once in awhile turbo be fine. But still with more boost probably need install better diverter valve to handle the extra boost

    • @Calvinm
      @Calvinm  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Probably not but I’m not sure and it would depend on how they test for emissions. If they inspect the vehicle and its exhaust components, no. If they put a wideband O2 sensor in the tailpipe and drive the car on rollers, no. If they plug in a cable into the obd2 port and inspect it digitally, maybe but I doubt it. You are removing an emission device when you go catless so unless a tune has some wizardry in it, it’s unlikely.

      No check engine lights yet. The company that sold my friend the tune couldn't confirm or deny whether the new tune was "deleting" the check engine lights that would occur with removing a cat which makes me think the tune has disabled some of the codes making it appear fine on the dash. You're right, that's how it goes modifying cars these days haha.

      Our car didn't get a check engine light because we installed a stage two tune on it from integrated engineering. The tune is designed to ignore the fault code for catalytic converter efficiency. If you don't get a tune or do anything to your o2 sensors after going catless you will throw a code and also not pass emissions testing. Best of luck!
