Install of my GTD1752vrk Turbo and Magnaflow Muffler onto my TDI powered TJ Wrangler Part 2

Watching the turbo run on is always so elegant looking to me 🥰

Right?! It’s so satisfying!

Keep up the good work, it's getting there!

What cat are you running. I need to find one too. Most of them online are too large for our TJ’s or arnt listed for diesels.

[@RustyAutoholicGuy]

I found mine on eBay years ago, it was a listed as a universal diesel cat for up to a specific displacement of engine, I think for mine it was 2.5l diesel.

[@RiverRyder1]

Thank you I’ll look into that

Do a burnout..... I wish mine wasn't a vband and came with that flange. Much nicer I think.

[@RustyAutoholicGuy]

I can't do a burnout yet . . . I have one of them bluetooth driveshafts at the moment 😅

[@TDISwap]

@@RustyAutoholicGuy I only have a Toms DS in the rear of the XJ. Once it's running and driving and most things have been remedied, I'll order another custom one. Both your TJ and my XJ should be pretty damn fast with those GTD turbos, lol.

Oddly enough I didn't get that turbo for speed, more so to get it away from my steering and braking components! I was also told with the tune I requested, this turbo would allow for very low EGTs as well, I got a tune designed for fuel economy and low EGTs not max power. Heat has been my number 1 challenge with this build, if it's fast that is just an awesome bonus at this point!

Hi Grant I’m glad things are shaping up on the build. It’s been very helpful to see someone do a swap into a Jeep. You sir have the patience on a saint!!! I wish you well on the move. God bless you and your family.

​@@heyyoubuddy6749 thank you so much! This project truly has become a labor of love, I can say with absolute certainty that I never though this would take me over 5 years to get done or even right depending on how you look at it. Out of everything though, the thing I'm most thankful for is all the people and friends I've made along the way during this journey!
