Whats the concensus on the above ?
Is it difficult to fit ? I changed the one on my S3 8L, it took me 3 weekends to get right, a right bitch to get out involving reciprocating saws, dropping of subframe and propshaft. Was worth it though, spool up and torque so much better. Also Brucie bonus of better mpg and lower egts.
Car is FWD ... so no prop this time.

If you have lift it will be very easy to fit... :)

I did it with the car on 4 jack stands, but it was a horrible job. Wore out 7 blades cutting through the flexi pipe and DP. I had to destroy it. From what I can see, the mk5 *should* be easier, if I can get the nuts off the turbo outlet flange without it seizing or snapping the studs. I'll spray lots of plus gas on it first. I'd hate to start the job and find I snap one or more of the studs ...
Dejan, I see you have replaced the baffled turbo outlet with one without the silencer. Was it difficult to remove and fit ? It fits between the turbo and the DP ?

Just take it to a garage or rent a ramp. Done in an hour or two. And a much better fit

Well I bought the thing B.I.N. and not the auction. Let's see if it's any good.
