Mk2 Golf Gti 16v - ABF Downpipe Development -pt1

[@RestoDesignsnando]

Looking forward to seeing this, You could have asked as I have a few of those euro downpipes kicking about and would have sent you one to test. I add about 300mm to that euro downpipes to see a nice gain in torque and maybe a 2hp gain @ peak on a chipped ABF ecu, on your k-jet car (fuel always spraying, even on overrun) maybe the results may differ. Keep the great video's coming👍🏼

Thanks and nice to know, only issue with the euro downpipe only fits on LHD cars, will be interesting to see the results out of curiosity alone

[@mcfly6667]

Interesting. Quite a bit of work on that custom downpipe. Say again how/why you cant go with a aftermarket piece, say from TT ? Because of the special tubular manifold you have? (going back to watch the episode where you built that)

[@GreyGooseRestorations]

Mainly because there is no aftermarket option when using the LHD ABF tubular exhaust manifold on a RHD car.

[@GTIFabric]

Techtonics has built just about any exhaust part I have asked for. Shipping might be a little expensive.

[@GreyGooseRestorations]

@GTIFabric that was the only other option but cost goes through the roof obviously for a good reason

Hey, for some reason my 9a 16v won't start when its hot. Unless the coolant sensor is unplugged. Any ideas?

[@GreyGooseRestorations]

That says to me that the sensor is providing a poor or incorrect signal to the ecu, I'd look to replace it with a genuine/good quality branded part
