My understanding is you don't necessarily need the race pipe. You can just use the egr valve and block it off, plus the shutter valve on there could potentially save a run away.
Just jump into it, it took me about a day start to finish. Would’ve been shorter if I would’ve just taken the sawzall out sooner with cutting the DPF out
Awesome video, definitely gonna be rewatching this when i delete mine. Also fun little tidbit that little module thing at 8:54 is the dpf pressure differential sensor. Not that it matters, just recognized it from having to replace several of em on takeuchis and GEHLs lol
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! That makes sense! Not a sensor this little VW will ever have to worry about now lol. Hope the video helps when you start the process
I have a 2015 vw Passat I’ve bought all the parts but I can’t find an egr delete “race pipe” for a 2015 the year cutoff for all these parts are 2014 same thing with the turbo muffler delete and everything I ever try to buy for the 2015 tdi
Great video. Does the EGR cooler have to come out to get to the manifold to install the block-off plate? My Darkside kit came with 3 plates. One for the EGR, one for the manifold, and one for the EGR cooler. Thanks
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! No sir, but I would recommend pulling it out anyways. The block off plate for the manifold is the worst one to do by far. Everything on top of the DSG has to come out as well as some intercooler piping. I ended up having to do it as the cross over tube broke from vibration
Where do you get the blanking plate at I can only find them for later years I have a 2014 6 speed tdi same body style as yours and got everything else. Just can’t get the blanking plate.
Hey can you provide links to all the parts and piece you bought for this whole project such as the hoodstack, delete kits, tune, and more. Sorry for asking for so much but this would be extemely appreciated and helpfull
I apologize for the late reply. The race pipe and hood stack links are in the description of this video. All of the tuning info can be found on the following video: ruclips.net/video/_fx8RCOB1mU/видео.htmlsi=1HjDP92mVAduX3Cf You will be able to order everything from the websites mentioned in the video The delete "kit" for the EGR cooler with all of the block off plates and what not is included in the description of this video: ruclips.net/video/UjvVYHfVITM/видео.htmlsi=FL4ZtRm0ayrwzzOr Thanks, and make sure to like and sub to the channel!
Hey man, thanks for the comment! Make sure to like and sub to the channel! Unthread it almost all the way, throw the plug into the hole, get it started to tighten with a regular ratchet, and then hit it with an electric impact. That is the way that I did it and if I remember correctly it took a little convincing to get it in the hole. Whatever you do, dont put any oil on it. Rather put hairspray on it if it still is giving you trouble. The hairspray will dry and become tacky unlike oil
Hi Taylor, thanks for the comment! Make sure to give the channel a like and subscribe if you don’t mind! Are you talking about the triple square sockets?
Can you tell me what size vband you used. Mine doesn’t work. The stack I got from them is too thick or something. Or they sent me the wrong clamp. The clamp only fits over turbo flange
Hey man, thanks for the comment! Make sure to like and sub to the channel if you found the video helpful. If you go to my other video there is a comment where we discuss this exact thing: ruclips.net/video/UjvVYHfVITM/видео.htmlsi=WojruWd-6z7roG6k The proper size is 75mm. At least that is what is the direct replacement. The VW part number is 1K0 253 725 B. That is right below 3". The v-band is NOT fun to get start and it is 100% a two person job. I had to get someone to hold the stack from the bottom while I had the bolt all the way threaded out and it still took some convincing to get it started. I would recommend trying to do it that way. Have someone hold it and then sort of pry the bottom of the v-band clamp onto both flanges. Best of luck, it took me a few hours of fighting with it by myself to finally call someone to help
So I’m confused. I have deleted a mk7. But this one is weird. So the EGR kit you have is for a 1.9. The race pipe is different on a 2.0 mk6 which is what I have and I’m deleting it. But when I look for the kits it’s showing a race pipe that bolts in both sides.
Hey man, thanks for the comment! Make sure to like and sub to the channel if you found the video helpful! Truthfully it depends on what exactly you get. I got the "race pipe" which consists of removing both the EGR and the ASV. If you remove just the EGR (which sits between the ASV and the intake) you will have a bolted flange on each side. One flange will bolt to the intake and the other to the ASV. If you remove both EGR and ASV (like I opted to do) you will have one bolted flange that bolts to the intake and the other will be a slip on flange for the intercooler piping. I hope that helps!
Hey my girlfriend gave me her 2013 TDI with a bad turbo. Dealership are SOB they tried to ripped her off. So I got it now as a freebie as long as I buy and replace the turbo….. yeah bro it’s a pain in the ASS, freaking Hitler revenge!!!!!! So I’m not familiar with TDI since I’m about to removed the bad turbo, what’s the purpose for deleting all that?! Gain HP or just for looks, I’m curious to know, I’m a Subaru and Honda guy, so any information would be highly appreciated! Video time 15:32 bro, you could have avoided that issue by just unbolting the subframe bolts to about a 1/4 on all of them and that hideous thing could have been snake out….just saying you could have save it and sell it out, you never know who would need a replacement👌
The purpose of a delete on these cars from what I've gathered is mostly for sound, reliability, power gains and supposedly a bit better fuel economy as well. Haven't deleted mine yet but will be soon before the dpf has a chance to plug up or something and put me out of service for awhile
Subframe bolts are a 1 time use TTY bolt. You would have to replace all the bolts that you loosened also it would throw off your front end alignment. You would then have to get the car aligned. Best not to take anything loose. The DPF WILL come out in one piece. It's tight but it will come out without cutting.
Thanks for the comment, make sure to like and sub! Just going to sort of re-iterate what was said in the previous two comments. Mine through a check engine light for the DPF, at that point I knew it needed replacing. That was the main driver behind deleting but also MPG, HP, and reliability as there are less parts in the car that can go bad now. As far as the subframe, that is exactly what I didnt drop it. Bringing the sawzaw out was much easier than having to go and buy new bolts for it and get the car re-aligned. I did not feel like fighting with it anymore so cutting was the way for me. Like always, there are most definitely more than one way to skin a cat. I hope you are liking your TDI so far, I love mine
Hi Cole, I see both of your comments. I will answer both of them on this. To your first question - yes, I put the oil line back on the turbo it is a vital component for sure. For the coolant spill question - yes, I did spill coolant all over. A little more that I expected actually, get ready to change your shirt when it starts running down your arm. I appreciate you commenting, give us a like and sub to help us grow!

Love the videos! I’m doing this exact thing to my 2012 Golf TDI and I’m using your videos as a tutorial for my project.
Thanks for the comment man, it’s much appreciated! Glad my videos could help. Let the Golf rip dude!!
Bro! Excellent video, thank you!!!
Thank you man i am going to do the same thing
Extremely helpful about to work on this next week
Just jump into it, it took me about a day start to finish. Would’ve been shorter if I would’ve just taken the sawzall out sooner with cutting the DPF out
@@NRCThings you find almost everyone that just blocks the EGR off but not many that remove it that’s where this video really helped

Where did you get that turbo EGR replacement plug?

I can’t find the hardware kit like the plug and blanking plate and stuff
hi I would like to know if I can remove the n18 with the vacuum hoses and just leave the n75 on a 2.0 tdi cr engine
How were you able to get the expanding plug in?
Where do you get the blanking plate at I can only find them for later years I have a 2014 6 speed tdi same body style as yours and got everything else. Just can’t get the blanking plate.

Is there any benefit to removing the ASV? I want to modify it to run a BOV.
I cut mine too, I didnt have to pull the axle by cutting the dpf.
Nice! I think it cleared up some room as I decided to drop it. Not a big deal. Thanks for the comment and the view! Make sure to like and subscribe!
That sucks. Not sure if its the same as the Passat. I just dropped my sub frame 2" without having to disconnect anything.
Any tips on installing the plug on the backside of the turbo? I can't seem to get the plug to fit in the hole.
Hey man, thanks for the comment! Make sure to like and sub to the channel!

Do you have the link for the VW special bits you used?
Hi Taylor, thanks for the comment! Make sure to give the channel a like and subscribe if you don’t mind! Are you talking about the triple square sockets?
Do you put the turbo oil line back on after you took it off?
Hi Cole, I replied to both questions on the other comment. Go give it a look!
