I had an equivalent installation in my 1974 1.6 Litre Toyota Celica. I ran 1.5 Bar above atmospheric using a twin scroll Garrett TO4B turbo fed by a 2" SU with a 1/2 inch ID fuel line, outputting to a 3" down pipe eventually reducing to a straight through 2.5" exhaust.
I had to put 1/2 inch thick asbestos sheeting down the fire wall and all the way under the front passenger seat to reduce the heat cooking the passenger's feet.
On a car that cost me $3,573 brand new on road, I spent over $5,000 modifying the motor alone. (During this period, I was heavily involved in car club motor racing. I raced this car in the open category.)
With the racing cam it had nothing below 3,500 rpm then all hell broke loose right up to 8,000 rpm.
I transmitted the power through a Borg & Beck 8.5" solid centre twin plate clutch.
Brakes were 4 piston calipers off a formula 5000 racing car.
I might add the motor lasted 20,000 km before it needed to be completely stripped down. When we looked at the top compression ring gland it had stretched to double the height.
Along with 100 octane fuel, I ran a separate alcohol injection set up into the inlet manifold.
As you might have gathered by now, good fuel economy was not a criteria. But "puttering" around Melbourne I achieved a maximum of ~20 miles per gallon. On the race track it dropped to ~3 miles per gallon.
(Oh well. Those were the "good old" days. :cool: )
Kudos for pioneering Resonator Delete mod and good to hear you have experienced no drone.
I did the same with my Octavia RS, same engine although the exhaust piping and resonator is vastly different. There was a resonance on the Octavia at 2.5k rpm whenever the engine is being lugged. Not loud or boomy, sounded more like a buzzing noise instead. I added straight through resonator and it 95% fixed the issue. There is DSG pop with the mod for our car :).
Saw this video from APR in Germany. Investigating as to wether the downpipe product comes with the additional resonator delete pipe as shown in the video.

Got my friend to drive the Tig up and down the street while I stood outside to listen to the exhaust. There's definitely a nice 'crack' from the DSG as he upshifts.
The exhaust sounded quite good from the outside, a nice burble on idle and a throaty note when accelerating. On the inside - you cannot hear anything. These Germans definitely know how to sound insulate their cars.
the 1000k's run-in period is starting to get closer and I can't wait to install an ECU stage 1 flash. The Tig standard is quite a zippy car (according to my friends), but to me it's just so sloooooow. Obviously coming from a stage 2 Golf R, you can understand why. I Might go with Unitronic. I am sure after the flash - the Tig's exhaust will even be louder and she'll have the performance to match her looks.
Anyone think that the Tig needs lowered springs and wheel spacers? Found a site in Germany selling Eibach springs for the Tig, but I am not sure if they'll fit. These springs lowers the car 30mm.

Any update on the video? How is the exhaust note inside/outside 4 months later?Quote:
