BIG TURBO 5 Cylinder VW Rabbit FIRST Start!

[@dwayneparks4437]

5 cylinder exhausts sound so exotic. One of the best sounds out there.

[@DArias]

Yeah I really can’t wait to get a full exhaust on and hear her sing man!

[@adamtooder2119]

Friggin awesome build. So glad people are starting to mess with these to this level

[@DArias]

Thanks man! This platform is getting very popular

[@dalewright9568]

Congrats on this build dude

[@DArias]

Appreciate it!

[@willieleach6522]

This is awesome man. So happy for you and how this is coming out

[@DArias]

Thanks man!

[@gavinkirkendall7714]

AYYYYY W 07k turbo! Can't wait to boost mine this summer!

[@DArias]

Great to hear! I’m sure you’re gonna love it. Cannot wait to start tuning it!

[@patriley943]

Congrats on this awesome build and accomplishment

[@DArias]

Appreciate it!

[@jesserhodes1525]

How are you going to do the exhaust? Hood dump would look cool

[@DArias]

I like hood dumps but it’s not for me! I’m going to try and connect my exhaust etc to my existing catback to have a full exhaust out the back

[@steveron3727]

Dude that sounds crazy lmao. Are you going to keep it straight piped? Sounds amazing even with no exhaust.

[@DArias]

No Idts, will probably connect it to my existing catback and maybe remove the resonator for a bit more sound since the turbo acts as a muffler itself

[@Fishi413]

See if the 2.0t turbo down pipe fits because I realized it looking at the exhaust it could bolt up… maybe

[@ritz5027]

Do you have any plans to do an oil catch can set up/pcv delete or are you comfortable leaving it as is ?

[@ritz5027]

awesome build !

[@DArias]

Appreciate it! I actually have a catch can on the way right now as well as the IE breather block adapter to rn an a setup. For right now I will be leaving the stock valve cover and intake manifold. I’m currently just waiting on which ones I want to go with. I’m thinking the i5 garage valve cover and then going with the spa intake manifold. I’m not chasing huge power because I have my Audi for that so I’m ok as is

[@saldorado3096]

How much does a build like this cost?

[@DArias]

Once it’s done I’ll do a breakdown on how much it cost etc!

[@saltybutsain6348]

Do you think there is any way to use the top mount manifold and a front mount intercooler without deleting the washer fluid bottle?

[@DArias]

Absolutely! It would most likely require some custom piping to be measured and made etc. so you can run it under the pulleys on the passenger side then sneak it to the top. I used a universal intercooler piping kit because it was cheap haha so this is what I had to do to make it work

[@saltybutsain6348]

@ Ah ok, I was considering going with the bottom mount manifold, Because everyone I have seen with the top mount has it routed like you do. But I don't see anyone using the bottom mount anymore. Are you thinking you will be able to get a downpipe to mate up with your existing exhaust/USP downpipe?

[@DArias]

Top mount is much easier for replacing and servicing the turbo etc. so many people have gone that route only because of the ease. The way I have my things routed though allows me to still utilize my hood without any cutting or having to hood dump etc. a lot of guys with this setup have to go no hood or have to cut their hood to fit. I’m going to remove the usp downpipe and sell it and then I’m looking for an exhaust shop that can help me from the turbo to connect it to the existing catback

[@S3_864]

Bro why you remove all your EQT parts off your list? Was just looking at the S3 build to see what all you got and noticed nothing from them anymore ?

[@DArias]

I still have the parts from them! However I haven’t been much involved with them anymore tbh haha. Still great products though

[@EastDallasKicks]

Hey man audio isnt loud rnough nevermind must be my airpods
