Full Milltek system on PD160 - worth it ?

[redcupratdi]

I think i'm going to get this system but supersprint do a cat back and the talipipe is much nicer imho. maybe just de cat & supersprint (cat back)

also is ther much change in pipe size on milltec to standard?

I have the non resonated milltek from the turbo back with a sport cat, and all i can say is WOW!!!, what a difference it made in throttle response, noise and how quickly the turbo spools up. It is a very good system, and well worth the money. Many people who have heard mine will say, that it sounds awsome for a riesel once under load and up and running, but at idle, it still sounds like a diesel, but a bit deeper note.

Before i got the car i thought what is the point in getting an exhaust for a diesel? as it will sound ****, but how wrong was i? very. It sounds fantastic, better than a petrol i would say, but then again i do have a hybrid turbo to make it go and sound well.

I would say go for it mate, you wont be dissapointed in your purchase.

Maybe I won't just do cat back

I figured that the throttle response would be better (seems to be the word the garages all use) but do you think there is any bhp/speed gain with it ?

Sounds good, have to look into that one.

I think the Milltek is 2.5", not sure of std.

Bhp wise im not sure, but milltek say around a 10% gain can be achieved iirc. Speed wise i suppose it will do, not top end, but getting there as the exhaust gasses are exiting the vehicle faster.

plus the system weighs a lot less aparently so car will be lighter as well

I have performance, and can still get very good MPG out of it, i got 55mpg on the way back from surrey on monday evening.
And whilst giving it some beans, it still has better fuel consumption than a petrol, whilst beating them LMGDFAO

unless you were driving 50mph in 6th gear all the way, your trip computer must not work after all your modifications!
i struggle to get 45mpg on a long run! i really find it hard to believe you get he same if not better mpg than you did standard!

 

[gazjones]

thats bad for tdi my amazing 20vt got 44 mpg to thew fairmile!!!!! and 41 back and the tdi is economical you've been had!!!!

Blimey I never get those sorts of figures unless I'm trying. 49mpg is my best @60-70mph for 60miles, currently doing 33mpg @70-* mph

 

[redcupratdi]

i don't drive real slow! Gaz did you not come into boost at all while you where driving??

i have got 50mpg before and i had such ia boring time doing it i will never do it again! i get average of about 40mpg. petrol driving same way 30mpg or below

 

[gazjones]

erm no not really no need to boost it for a 170 mile trip lol was hard to get that tho was constantly using hills and dropping clutch but it worked and good if ya willing to put the effort in!

Well i was doing 65 mph all the way home, took a pic on my phone when it got to 55mpg, with the occasional blast upto 110.

well today i sween an average of 22 mpg over 12 miles, so it has its good days and bad days. But i had an excuse though, i have a bulge in my front side wall, that i noticed when i got to the meet.

I had a close shave the other week when some dosey bitch pulled out in front of me and cut me up, made me brake very hard in the wet, abs kicked in and wasnt stopping, so had to venture on the grass in the middle of the dual carridge way, and then hit a fcukin curb at about 50, no other damage, was lucky. So didnt want to risk a blow out on the way back.

i just wanted some petrol left when i got home lol if i cained it back would have used 3/4 of a tank i think

Need 4 pots or better with your power
i hate people looking once not judging speed of distance and then pulling out.
