[@adamc8569]

Yet more top quality content, you really do put better known youtubers to shame. Can you fit a 3 inch downpipe, pipewerx for example and still keep the original cat, if so is it still a worthwhile mod? ATB mate, love the content.

[@adamc8569]

I also meant to ask, do you have any concerns about your con rods? Any plans on changing them? From what I've read and spoke to various people 300bhp and similar torque numbers are the limit on standard rods really and have been known to fail lower than that. Its playing on my mind slightly and I doubt my TT will surpass 280bhp with what I intend to do to it.

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks buddy appreciate the kind words. So from my experience you can run 280ish bhp with 300ft lbs of torque. I have personally run and known others that have run similar for years without issue. If you do go for rifle drilled forged rods you can push it a little harder knowing that your covered. If your going to be doing that would also be worth getting super tech valves or similar and can really maximise the potential. The other common failure is clutches. Your putting all this extra power onto a stock clutch and dual mass that could have done 60-100k haha. It becomes an expensive getting more power haha. Personally a “stage 1” software map and the cooler, intake tip and downpipe make the biggest difference.

[@seanb9814]

Nope, you need to replace the 2 x small OEM cats with the pipewerx high flow cat. Great quality, have fitted recently to my 225 TT.

Fitted a PipeWerx DP and sport cat to my 225 TT last month ... after fitting an eBay special 2 weeks earlier. The eBay special did actually fit but it made the car sound like a tractor (cheap flexi I think). The PipeWerx DP is excellent. Perfect fit, well made and sounds great. Could not be happier and highly recommend them.

I ask because I was trying to replace the blinker bulb with a fancy led job, and the wire fell down inside (amazon sold and adverted the wrong part lol). Is there an easy way to fish that blinker wire back up, without removing panels? again, just amazing coverage on the TT side Dom.

[@TheParrottBros]

Welcome aboard, it will be a great journey and most enjoyable, jealous that you have so much nice weather to play cars haha

[@steffenscheibler5849]

I want to add one thing about intercoolers. I see a lot of people getting an FMIC and kicking out the SMICs. That might be a workable option in the UK (which probably means for most people watching thing) but I live in the near-East where we do get what you call "a proper summer". For 9 months of the year. I went with an FMIC after doing the 3" downpipe and initially I was happy with it. I went with it mostly because it was actually cheaper than any DSMIC option I could find (in 2019/2020). However, the first "proper drive" I took saw the coolant temperature doing things it really shouldn't be doing after some time. I jiggled a little with trying to duct flow more effectively but nothing I did could solve the problem.. the FMIC sitting in front of the radiator just meant that in hot climates all you can do with an FMIC is a few 1/4 mile runs and you need to just let everything cool down. I could change the radiator and that might help, but ultimately there isn't that much space to play with. I went for some upgraded DSMICs (~60% larger core, bar&plate, full-metal) and I never again had a problem. So I guess if you just want the occasional burst of power, an FMIC will do, for anything more serious: DSMIC is a must-have IMO. I don't see any reason to mess around with larger radiators, especially if you cram a bigger turbo in the back and then have to basically cut up the entire front of the car, which adds a TON of drag to the car which makes it somewhat jittery at high speeds (the TT has a nervous back-end at speed without some extensive mods...)

[@TheParrottBros]

I completely agree with you, for the uk they are perfectly fine, but I can imagine like you say in hotter climates it can be more of an issue. In England we would be lucky if we have 3 consecutive days of nice weather 😂

great vid again mate, but what do you think about the differnt n75 valves (maybe do a vid) like the race version to the cheap ebay versions and genuine Audi versions with different part numbers.

[@TheParrottBros]

Thank you, I would only ever use one and that’s the genuine n75. The eBay ones are no good, break easy and seen nothing but trouble with them. Not had any dealings with race ones. Everyone I know who runs fast cars that still use n75 boost control use stock genuine n75’s. Usually use the latest revision on sensor, genuine ones usually last between 75-100k miles.

Great video here. Just looking to see your thoughts bought car with a Decat and full strainless steel exhaust. On a wing an a prayer hoped it would pass it's MOT it did not, assume it is more likely these options with the sport CAT would pass MOT?

[@TheParrottBros]

Thank you, yes a sports cat should pass an Mot as it’s still a catalytic Converter but just has a higher flow rate compared to stock ones. The pipewerx one linked in the description is what I have and had no issues 👍🏻

Does this down pipe fit for the U.S models ? Also how does reliability go for the awd system ? Thank you in advance btw just found you’re channel you got a sub!

[@TheParrottBros]

Thanks for the support, I can’t see why it wouldn’t fit as the engine layout is the same apart from the steering column being on the other side, it would be worth comparing an English 2 to5 stock downpipe with a US one in pictures and see if there is any physical difference. What do you mean reliability go for the all wheel drive system? Thanks dom

If everything else is stock, does a 3" DP like this make a worthwhile difference to sound and some gains compared to removing things? Cheers

For the agro it is to change the down pipe a backbox delete would be cheaper and sound louder, the downpipe does add some sound but not loads, but does increase flow somewhat tho

[@iainlock3054]

Hiya mate,looking for your opinion. I really want to go to a stage 2 with my 2004 MK1 Audi TT 225 coupe. I can afford the air filter(Ramair with built in velocity stack) and I'm thinking of a Forge upgraded intercooler. It's when it comes to exhaust systems I get stuck. Ideally I would go for the full Milltek 3" large bore downpipe and sport cat ( I want it to pass MOT's without having to change out a decat one for it to pass ). This has to be used in conjunction with their 3" race exhaust system. The problem is I'm working to a tight budget and with everything else I want to do to the car I just can't stretch to roundabout £1800 for the whole system. I'm a bit disappointed and don't want to settle for a stage one as I will already have 2 out of the 3 prerequisites for a stage 2. It feels to me you'd be wasting your money: £220 for a stage 1 and £270 for a stage 2. I have just watched your video on 3" downpipes and I really want one. Pipewerx does the downpipe and sport cat but can you recommend a decent but not Milltek money equivalent for the rest of the exhaust from the cat back ? Like you say, I don't want to buy some cheap c**p off eBay. I've looked at the Scorpion resonated system ( I'm not 21 anymore and just couldn't handle the constant cabin noise),and even though it says it's for a 225 BAM when you enter your saved car it says it doesn't fit !? This is on eBay mind. So if you could give me some options with your experience and knowledge I'd be most grateful. I'm looking to spend about a grand all in,maybe could stretch it to £1200. Like I said in an ideal world Milltek would be my first choice but for downpipe,sport cat and 3" resonated race exhaust it's not much change out of £1800. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also what is your opinion on Forge diverters and blow off valves, personally I like the whoosh of a blowoff valve and now Forge do both,a diverter valve and a splitter with blowoff. I know from comments on various TT forums 99% of people used to say avoid blowoff valves as the bam engine wasn't designed for that and came with a plasticy crap OEM one and it can lead to all sorts of problems but some of this information is nigh on 15 years old and there must've been some advancements since then. So I will be upgrading one way or another. I personally would like the splitter with built in blowoff and I'd like to think a company like Forge wouldn't sell it if it didn't work but I would like your opinion on this matter please if it's not too much bother. Any other suggestions would be great, different intercoolers(cheaper alternatives).I will be joining your channel but had to make a double mortgage payment today and do a huge grocery shop so I'm skint until Tuesday. Do you get a Parrott Bros badge when you join or can you buy one ? BTW love your videos,so insightful, I think I have about 20 on my playlist,and your one lucky man having so many lovely cars Many thanks, Iain Lock

[@TheParrottBros]

Hey Iain, wow so where to start Exhaust wise, get a pipewerx downpipe and sports cat, fit it to a stock cat back system for the time being and keep a saved search on eBay for a miltek or scorpion resonated cat back system. Usually come up for 250-350£ second hand Do not fit a blow off valve as these engines use a maf to measure air into the system. A blow off valve will mess it up and make it run badly. An open cone filter like the pro ram along with a forge 007p or similar recirc will give you that whoosh on gear changes that you want. Intercooler wise you can do the home made version I did for about £250-300. Or again keep an eye out for a used one, if not forge or airtec will do the job for sure If your on Facebook jump in the tt pages and speak to some of the breakers or put up a wanted post, most of them have used stage 2 parts on the shelf ready to go Thanks dom

[@RobTT85]

Great video mate, Would I be heavily restricted if I fit a 3" cat back system and downpipe but keep the original cat

[@TheParrottBros]

A cat back system will be just fine for sound, if you want performance then a larger downpipe and sports cat would be the preferred choice, i ran cat back for years fine :)

Steven Sheppard aftermarket. Usually if you are modifying and looking to increase power the stock pumps are tired and can fail. If your not looking for much more power a stock one should be fine and can always be replaced. The options people usually go for are Bosch 044 pump or the Dw65. If you google them and 1.8t there is plenty of info on them 😊. Best speaking to the person who you intend to map your car if you are and see what they recommend

Ciaran Minns thanks buddy, on a long run I can get 38-40mpg cruising on motorway. Then round town is anything from 20-30 depending on how you drive. If I’m driving it round local roads I’m usually not hanging around haha. Overall it isn’t bad at all

@@TheParrottBros top man thank you for your quick reply. Think I might take the plunge and get a 225!

[@julesmatthews2178]

My overall actual best mpg is 29 That was worked out precisely Mines mapped 3 inch stainless poss running 260/270 so not so bad If you drive them real hard then drink fuel 😎

Does a 3" downpipe for a 225 fit on a 180? I have a stock cat😅

[@TheParrottBros]

No 180 & 225 are different, you can but a downpipe for a 180 but they are a different shape, also differ between fwd and quattro

[@nielsmore2335]

@@TheParrottBros thank you very much!! Do you know where I can find a 3" downpipe for a 180 quattro?

Did you go decat or sports cat route?

[@TheParrottBros]

Liam I got both, mainly sports cat and then decat for track

[@timmy5521]

Thanks for the reply, I'm actually viewing a nice mk1 225 TT tomorrow. Always fancied one, I know they are pretty quiet standard so will be looking at changing to the 3 inch downpipe. Just worried it will be too noisy though 🤔 I've had noisy cars and kind of grown up alittle 😂

[@TheParrottBros]

Liam haha I know that feeling, stock is silent, with the down pipe they are not too bad, a miltek also sounds quite nice. The induction kit adds quite a bit of noise and recirc ( a dump like noise) Let me know how you get on 👍🏻

Nothing wrong with the ebay down pipe iv had 3 off them all have been fine better than over paying£300

[@TheParrottBros]

Marky Mark tt your the first person I’ve ever had say that, many vag techs who work on these cars day in day out have said they fowl on all sorts. I have had 4 personal experiences with cheap eBay downpours and all have had fitting issues wether it be bulkhead, hitting prop or touching ps lines. I’d rather spend the extra money and get a better quality one that I’ve never had issues fitting than have to fettle with the downpipe or the bulkhead etc

[@SuperGraham1975]

Anything like this for the 180 Bhp.

[@TheParrottBros]

There is some options yes, Quattro or front wheel drive?

[@SuperGraham1975]

Just like to know what can be done to the engine etc or is it s better option to change the engine to s 225

[@TheParrottBros]

SuperGraham1975 they do mate a downpipe specifically to the 180, if your after big power gains you have a few options. You can swap out the turbo, inlet, injectors, maf and make it a k04. Turn can use the downpipe I’ve shown in video and will make better power on mapping. You can swap engine but may need to change out engine, loom, ecu etc as 225’s run more sensors than a 180. So quite involved . Be cheaper to buy a 225
