Turbo Cool Down

Posted by bringmann at May 13. 2004
Darn, should have listened to my mom and went to school. Milltek it is! I can't believe, 46 yrs. old and I've already dropped $2,500 into this car and it's only 2 1/2 months old. And now I'm looking hard at forged BBS wheels. HELP!

No need to call for help! Keep on tunin'. I have had the Milltek cat-back with resonator for two years. Added it after I chipped the car, and I could feel the added power. Not as big a kick as chipping, but still noticeable.

Only problem with the Milltek is that about 6 months ago the heat shield started clattering when I hit bumps. Only audible with top down and sound system off. Have made it better tightening it up, but it still has not vanished. Oh, well.

Heck yes, get the freakin' wheels. You'll smile every time you walk up to your ride.

Oh, yeah, I always make it a point to drive pretty for the last few minutes before shutting the car down after I've been hotfooting it. I figure this lets everything cool down while air is passing through the radiator, giving max cooling effect.

where can i buy one of this in the states?
I will only need the High-Flow Sport Cat or the exhausts as weel?

Juan:

OEM cat works fine. Flow gain from sport-cat is not in line with the cost of the cat. Spend $100 or so for a Forge diverter valve and get more punch, or so I understand. I read an article a year or so ago, probably in European Car, talking about some problems with sport cats. But google it to be sure, as I'd hate to steer you wrong.

One source for the Milltek is stratmosphere.com

Takes 2-3 hours to swap exhausts.

Yeah, forget the cats. Unless you wish to do a stage 2 or 3 upgrade ( bigger turbo, injectors, intercooler, etc.) race cats will give you maybe 2-3 hp.
Has your car been chipped? If not go with a chip first, you'll see three times gain for the same $ or less.

Good luck,
Geoff
