metal 1.8t pancake pipe on tdi

[brad1]

Evening all

I've managed to get a metal pancake pipe from a seat leon cupra 1.8t 180bhp model. Looking at pics on the Internet of it, it did look very restrictive, but now seeing it in person, it is actually like twice the size of my plastic pancake pipe. Now what do I need to do to fit this on my tdi, any info much appreciated

Cheers

I think for the turbo pipe to connect you need to weld a 44mm peace on the 1.8T pancake.

Cheers Maz, what I think I will do is get a small 51mm to 45mm reducing joiner and slide the 51mm end over the pancake pipe and then the 45mm end over the metal connector on the turbo red pipe, basically using the same sort of idea that forge use for connecting their pancake pipe to the turbo pipe
