1. Pain in the arse to remove but do-able on the driveway if you're handy with the spanners.
2. Only from what I've been reading up on and from other people's experience and Maf flow readings of gutted pre-cats Vs custom downpipes.
The existing downpipe is 3" inlet down to 2.75" exit so fairly substantial which will easily flow 400bhp.
3. I've been out for a quick test spin, not really noticeably louder in the van but mine is fully insulated, bit deeper note on tickover as effectively you've removed a small silencer as the pre cat will have a silencing effect on the system.
Certainly no drone inside.
Van seems to pick up noticeably better at lower rpm, I also noted my MAF reading on peak power on my local drag strip peaked at 230g/s whereas before I never saw more than 225g/s

Yep, he was sitting on the cardboard just when I needed it to put the intercooler on itGood to see you've got your little helper there
Looks to fit a bit easier than the Forge one! Getting those pipes on was a pain!
I also left the little plastic deflector off at the bottom of the cooler so that a bit more was exposed to the airflow. I think it was only there when the smaller cooler had a gap there?

Yeah I might get round to taking that off at some point, I was running out of light and time to get it all back together, the last pic of it back together is surprisingly dark, guess that's modern phone camera tech for you
I fitted the pipes first on ours and then carefully had the wife feed them through as I manoeuvred the cooler into place ..
But ours has the old crappy pipes that clip into place so I didn't wanna run the risk of trapping the new seals fitting them with the cooler in situ.

I'm trying to source some Forge ones but they have ceased production
.Trying to find a set in stock is proving tricky.

Unless somewhere has them in stock it's not happening unless they make another limited batch
I've tried literally everyone including a firm on eBay who listed them as in stock, I've also sent messages to the companies you've suggested so we'll see what happens!

Only Forge made kits for the TSI unfortunately....
Think I might just invest in some new OEM hoses at some point is they're good for nearly 500 bhp
Couple of updates.
Fitted my bargain H&R anti roll bars.
Found a custom t6 TSI exhaust locally so that was another facebay bargain (had to insert another rosonator as it was top droney on part throttle)
Got my Vossen wheels refurbished and new centre caps ££££££££.
And I fitted new stainless powder coated trapezoid bars so no more side bar rust issues.
Also my van was missing the front passenger side underbody trim, sods law the most expensive piece with the heat shielding.
Think that's about done now until I return from Europe tour in July, then hybrid time
