I'm glad to see someone new who is tackling an Mk1/8N 1.8L 225bhp TT. These cars are totally awesome when they're right but they definitely suck to work on because of the traverse engine. I've done a lot to my 2001 so if somebody's got questions, hit me up.

I just wang to say your channel is a life saver and a wealth of information. I do have a question. I have a 2001 Audi tt quattro AMU 225hp roadster and am trying to find the best way to address the other line going to the airbox. From the diagram under the hood it looks to be part of the secondary air pump. I have installed a cone filter and silicone tube and got the puck, blowoff diverter and n75j routed and am questioning what to do with the other pipe.
For the secondary air pump you simply fit a small filter oin the end of that corrugated plastic hose, if you look online you will see in the pictures of some air filter systems it comes with a small filter which pushes onto their
I can tell you a few stories about my car. Ive done all the things you have. Ended up at 300bhp but head gasket gone now so going too full rebuild at 500bhp. Top power tip is get a Relentless manifold and down pipe and unleash the beast with a tune. Incredibly fast once all the mods are done.
That’s going to be a serious monster when done, what turbo are you going to run when done? I’m trying to keep it reasonable price wise at the moment as there is so many things that need doing on the car, when the engine or turbo goes then I’ll take it off the road and go to town on it 😂. Thanks for watching
@@TheParrottBros Im not sure yet how to stage the build. I know it needs a head gasket and will need forged rods to get more power so while thats being done its probably sensible to get better valves head flowed and maybe fast road cams. Still looking into it at the moment but strengthening will be first followed by the turbo. Im not sure a hybrid will give me the power i want but ill let you know.
MRPK1967 for sub 400bhp you need forge rods and valve springs, the rods allow more torque as the stock ones you are limited to 300ftlbs ish. Turbo wise a hybrid allows better air flow but can run hotter. Luckily as a few people have already done the big power 1.8ts there is plenty of info. Have a look at nicks a3 that’s some 550bhp.

Again another great video, lots of people fitting this pipe, but do not go through as thoroughly as you have ...thanks.. not so worried now about fitting mine,,

Very AWESOME Dom..I'm doing the same thing..I have the filter already installed, but with new exhaust, that intake tube is really sucking the life out of the airflow..what a great step by step mate!! thanks!

Just became a subscriber been watching your channel most recently. I have a 2001 audi quattro tt with only 58, 000 on it that I stole for $500 dollars a couple of years ago I hardly drive it as you see by the miles but I am ready to add some extras to it. Thought about selling it at one time but I like the car so I am gonna keep it and start doing a few things to it.
Kevin Lynch wow! Going on what others say $500 is an absolute bargain. You wouldn’t be doing the car justice if you didn’t clock up a few thousand miles each year. Specially if you’ve got plenty of open road at your disposal. They truly are lovely cars to drive and I think that’s what draws people into ownership. If you have any questions feel free to drop me a line anytime via fb, Instagram or via the website. Thanks for supporting the channel
Great video. I'm planning on replacing the standard air filter and box for an oversized intake pipe and cone filter for my TT. Thanks for the detailed and clear instructions. The clip at the end showing how your car drives so much better is great inspiration for me to get this done as soon as possible :)
Thanks for the kind words, I try and make all videos giving as much info as possible, I want others to be able to maintain and enjoy these beauTTiful cars for many years
Hi. I Have a 1999 MK1 225. I've started with this mod. I've noticed an additional pipe running from the air filter box. Tried to look it up looks like it's the auxiliary air pump hose. I didn't see it on your video. What should I do with it . Love the vids an passion. Many thanks.
Alpha Omega hey, yeah you can buy an air filter from ram air and other manufactures that goes over the end of those. My model doesn’t come with that hence why it’s not in my video. Like this one www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272707147316
@@TheParrottBros That's great I just didn't know what to do with it. My TT is quite old 1999. Thankyou for the reply. Great vids keep em coming You got another subscriber.
From what I’ve heard left hand drive can be a pain as you have other things in the way. Speak to bill at badger 5 he will know as he posts them world wide every day
Thanks for thé video. Would it be a good idea to place the air filter in a box and feed it with cold air from the original tube located under the wing?
Going to fit my Forge TIP for my K03s when the weather gets better. Got the Ramair already with a forge DV008 and it sounds like a steam train haha Amazing video as always, keep these TT videos up!
It makes you want to go faster than noise doesn’t it haha. The tip you will notice a mass improvement on the acceleration it just feels like it wants to go more. From memory when I did mine the K03/03’s is a bit more fiddly and does take a bit longer so give yourself plenty of time when you do it. Thanks for watching :)
Lee Rose a little yes but that’s purely because I drove harder as it sounds better when you nail it 😂. It anything should help as it makes airflow better thus less work 😉
thank you for the video. Can I ask you, is there a specific order where the PCV valve and the DV have to come? because on mine, the previous owner installer the PCV valce on the right side instead of on the left. And is the new Turbo intake pipe firm? because I can easily squeeze mine. thank you very much!
Do you mean the puck ( pressure reg valve) as long as they are in yhe turbo intake pipe shouldn’t matter too much as it’s just recycling the air back into there. Should be relatively firm, if it’s too soft it could collapse under boost. Is it stock or after market?
@@TheParrottBros it's an after market, but I suspect it's from Aliexpress, as the previous owner had a lot of Aliexpress tubing in it... I know, because I had to replace every :)
I note you didn’t install the heat shield, I have noticed that trying to install the heat shield is a nightmare as you end up cutting the pipe which is fraught with danger. Any tips?
I’m yet to install one, not brought one yet and focusing on other jobs but I will at some point when I come to tidy the bay up Cutting wise is easy enough, work out how much you need to cut off then put a jubilee clip there and tighten it up enough to hold the silicone. Then get a sharp Stanley blade and using the jubilee clip as a straight edge follow it all the way round
Darren Swift I made a bracket using a straight bit of metal and bent both ends, one end attached to maf, other end attached to one of the air box mounting points
I’ve heard good things about the badger 5 tip certainly a popular choice. A filter, tip and down pipe will make a massive improvement on flow, and make it a lot more responsive.
New to the channel just got a 02 225 roadster totally standard.. only 55k on the clock.. gonna stage 1 map it with ram air and tip.. have you got links to where you got the pipe please fella...also would a front mount make that much difference with the cone and map combined ..cheers and good vids
Scott Dennis hey buddy, the most popular tip is badger5.co.uk/induction/v3-tip-red_esp-0097/5 this has been proven on the dyno time and time again. A front mount will certainly help as with the side mount coolers it runs out of cool air before the turbo does, I noticed a massive difference when I fitted mine. Well worth it in my Opinion
Hey man so I’ve been looking for a turbo inlet pipe for my mk1 tt 225 but I’m in the USA and I haven’t been able to find one that fits for some reason. I’ve looked on a few sites and a lot of them tell me that the inlet pipe they sell only fits up to the 2002 models and I’m a bit lost on where to find one now for my car. And I’m not sure if the ones in the UK would fit. Any suggestions on where to look or which ones would fit? Thanks for taking the time to read this
Ricky Gomez hey buddy, so I had this exact chat with Badger 5 the other day who makes the oversized turbo intake pipes. He said that it will fit but you may need to trim the bit that goes on to the turbo down so it’s the width of the clip and nothing else. If you give bill a message he will be happy to talk to You and he will post to USA. You want to look at the v3 option. Hope this helps. Any other issues give me a shout. badger5.co.uk/induction/v3-tip-red_esp-0097/5
Did the B5 tip on mine at the weekend, you still on the original turbo, fins looked fine on mine but there was a clean bit where oil was coming in through the breather and it looked like the fins had cleaned it...
I wouldnt worry too much, a little bit of oil is normal. If your seeing smoke often out the exhaust or your having to top up regular then there might be an issue, if no dont worry too much
@@Trig0r There is no specific mark really, ive spoken to people who have done 200k with original turbos, i know someone with a Qs who has got turbo issues at 50k. i wouldn't worry until you are getting symptoms, if your worried then check back in a couple months
Hi. Noob here. What are my options if I want to upgrade/improve the air flow rate of my turbo intake pipe but keep the standard airbox (i'm not a fan of an open cone looks wise)? Is there a pipe available that is only slightly bigger than stock which doesn't have a corrugated inside?
You can buy a silicone equivalent of a stock one which would do a little bit but to be honest your best bet is the oversized one. You can keep stock air box but tip will need some trimming
Hmm i would have a look on badger 5 and see if he sells one for the 180, i think only certain engine codes can run a bigger tip as some have water pipes that fowl the route
Badger 5 sell the best on the market big turbo intake pipe, and yes it will meet up with any 80mm filter providing it fits in the space ( not too massive )
Alroght, im not sure if your car has one but my 180 has a secondary air injection pipe coming from the original air box, but i couldnt see it in your engine bay. I only ask as i put a bit of netting over mine and now i have a P4011 code for reduced flow for the SAI, if you did have that pipe what did you do with it? Cheers
If you search SAI delete for 1.8t online you will see what is required to remove it from your car, Only certain models have the Secondary air pump ( the Bam engine doesnt ) Thanks
sjl plomberie hey buddy, they do make an intake for the 180, it differs from the 225 as turbo inlet is a different size. Find your engine code and look on eBay for turbo intake pipe with that three letter engine code
@@TheParrottBros I have the 180hp turbo, can I do that? And if yes, do I have to tune it or remap how the air filter works? Because I only see people talking about the audi tt 20v turbo and the ramair site only shows the Normal performance air filter,
Fitted a ram air with heat shield on my 225 and when I come off the gas it sounds like it dumps up twice...is that normal or have I got a leak or problem?
That could well be normal, usually it’s the n249 letting off unneeded pressure and then all the boost pressure going too. If your car pulls well and is strong all the way up the revs you should be fine
Can you actually feel any difference with this intake pipe? I know it has a bigger cross section and the inside of it is smoother which is better...but the you have a given cross section at the turbo intake so, can you really get more air to the turbo?:)
Yes is the short answer, I put the tip and cone filter on at the same time and instantly noticed it’s more responsive and feels stronger on boost like it’s getting more air. Here is what I found on line which explains why ( its been dyno proven many times in 1.8t platform as well :) ) Increasing the pipe diameter causes the pressure and velocity of the gas to decrease. ... Changes to engine geometry and specifications can produce better torque, power, volumetric efficiency and more. The technique known as wave tuning can lead to better engine torque and power.
The great thing about the Maf sensor, is that it measures the density of the air being used by the engine. Simple data logging shows that you get more air over the rev range, as well as earlier onset. Easily measured, and easily proven
I'm wondering as I've just got mine,not a fan of open filters in the engine bay,i've odereded an pipercross filter to keep it with the stock housing so I can still feed it with some cold air,for stage 1 will it be a massive difference from your kit to stock one,in real world use? or will the silicone aftermarket hose fit the stock housing ?
Quite a few people fit the oversized tip's to a stock air box and it will still increase the amount of airflow to the engine over the stock pipe, the only downside with the stock airbox is you are limited to the spout in the wings diameter for airflow. Not horrendous on stock however when tuning is something most tunes would recommend changing out. You may lose some of the added bonus of the larger tip however still an upgrade
Big fan of your vids and just got a TT 1.8T BAM last month! Excited to start work on it. I was wondering if you need a remap with your new intake or is it okay to run as is? Cheers, Laurence.
Laurence Shotliff firstly thank you! Secondly yes you can run this without a map as the maf meters the air it intakes so don’t worry about it, a map will enhance it though 😎
I have a Seat Leon 1M -01 20vt4 (180hp, but stage 1 at 215hp) that i'm about to fit a Creation Motorsport oversized tip onto that allows for the bigger 225hp MAF and bigger BSR airfilter, hoping for some more gains since the small JR filter i use now might restrict the airflow more than the original boxed-up filter did. I don't know how much differs between the 180hp engines to the 225hp ones, but they say that there is a coolant pipe running close to the inlet of the turbo that might need to be deformed or slightly moved to fit an oversized tip, did you have to do this? I got the oversized tip for about 80£ (new in packaging but never used) and MAF + BSR filter with heatshield for 25£ (Used).
The other things to consider is will you need to change the maf sensor inside the housing to the 70mm one as will throw your Ecu out. If you have a k03s turbo the inlet size may be different and the k04 225 Tip won’t fit and will Slide off
@@TheParrottBros I still got both MAF's because I've heard that the one for the AUQ might have 4 pins while the BAM (and probably other 225hp engines as well) have 5 pins, don't know if it's true but I will experiment and see what combination works best. Thanks for the heads up, I've already made sure that I bought the correct oversized tip. This one should have the fitting dimensions for the K03s turbo but also have an oversized dimension fitting towards the MAF to be able to fit the bigger MAF housing.
Markus Johansson so yeah from what I’ve heard people say you have to force the water pipe over slightly but defiantly check with others first as I’ve no personal experience on doing it
Twxii That would be a good reason for replacing it ha ha, yes I bought the cone filter separately, you can get them most places, if you have 225 you will need a filter with a 80 mm opening
@@TheParrottBros You mentioned installing the heat shield at a later date, do you know where you can get just the heat shield? I've only really been seeing them included with the Ramair cone filter.
Nice video! I was like "how does he have so much space to remove it?" until i realized your brake master cylinder is on the right side of the car..... I'm struggeling to get mine of because my LHD 225 got the cylinder in the way...
@@TheParrottBros awesome!! Now I have a lot of confidence installing my intake. However, I do know that I will need a tune whenever I install a downpipe. Looking forward to stage 2.
@@TheParrottBrosyou know, the common problem on the TTs where the original plastic screw clips would crack and break off, leaving all the cosmetic plastic covers loose and generally looking like crap. It looks like you've replaced all yours with metal screws and stuff
I don’t have any if not many of the plastics left as the previous owner removed them and never replaced them. The dress up kit you can buy from cbauto if this is what you’re after. www.cbauto.co.uk/alloy-engine-bay-washer-kit
The turbo intake pipes are divided between two options the 180 and 225bhp models. Engine specific codes cover things like if the car has a wide band ecu etc
Hi. i have a tt mk1 225 hp, and the exhaust manifold almost get red for getting hot. İs it normal? How can i fix it? No one of mechanics could fix is in my city. Thanks for help.
The exhaust manifold / turbo does get very hot but if it is glowing cherry red it could be a restriction in the exhaust/ restricted catalytic converter, it could be a lean air fuel mixture, or retarded ignition timing all of the above should cause a loss of power or fuel economy.
The main problem with the cone filter is the intake air temps, hotter air is less dense and doesn't allow this upgrade to fully benefit, the stock filter housing pulls air from the inner fender which is cold air not from inside the engine bay which has been heated by the radiator, engine, air-conditioning condenser and so on
I agree, I had many Vtecs and a cold air intake was worth it ie went from the throttle body to lower front bumper but on the TT I’ve simply updated the panel filter. Unless you fabricated a cold air intake pipe into the inner wing not sure either.
the air goes through a red hot turbo don't think a cone filter makes that much difference to inlet temps, you have an intercooler to cool down the inlet air anyway
Do you reckon this TIP is smaller than the badger5? Want to put a tip in mine but the badger5 wont fit on LHD, as theres a brake booster, brake cylinder and fluid reservoir near the tip on LHD. Subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing :) size wise they are very similar looking at pictures. Have a look at the forge tip, that’s a lot slimmer at the bottom should fit better.
Gplus sucks big it’s slimmer Towards the end, still larger at filter end and bigger and Stronger than stock. But yes not as big but the difference will be 1/2 bhp
Cant wait for the upload on boost problems, mine boost fine for a while but after a bit of a kicking it goes into limp mode,if I turn car of and back on again it's fine again,iv changed the n75 valve but still the same😂
A friend of mine is actually suffering from the same issues at present, do you have any way of checking the fault codes? VCDS or a obd reader? I will try and cover as much as possible, a good percentage of these now are suffering from simple boost issues.
That most likely means it's a vacuum or pressure leak in the system because the ECM doesn't read it . I recommend performing a pressure test with smoke. I have a 2001 TT 225bhp with an AMU engine that I have built almost entirely from scratch and this is a common problem to sort out. I have over $1600.00 american dollars tied up in FORGE hoses, FORGE Waste Gate Valve, FORGE 008 Divertor Valve, and much, much more but I still have the same problem you're struggling with. An Audi TT Mk1 225bhp is not an automotive project for amateurs because it requires a lot of time, research, tools, strong thin hands, flexible body, skinny arms, and a lot of disposable money to eliminate all fault codes (if you haven't figured that out already). I have been working on my project for over 15 months and I'm still not done with all the niggly bits that drive you nuts! Never give up and you'll get it!
@@geofflockley1176 yeah mine turned out to be down to a stupid blow off valve I had recently installed,removed and replaced with original,so back to normal now.
I have a 2003 Seat Toledo 20VT (AUQ) its the BAM's small brother I guess lol, it is completely stock, well I have a catback exhaust. My plan is to get done a clever stage 1, get a SFS Supersized TIP (70mm) the Forge 008 DV and replace the stock and tired N75 for a new N75J from Audi, what do you think of this setup. Next year I would do the 3" downpipe and some other mods for a stage 2 remap. I am not really sure about the TIP size, according to the website the A15H/A for my engine code is 70mm, I guess 80mm wouldnt fit? What size is the Forge TIP I cant find info about it? It was my other candidate but people say SFS is way better than Forge.
So there’s quite a few things to consider with this, the AUQ I believe is a 180 hp, if this is the case you run a K03 style turbo which has a small inlet than a 225 k04 would so they are different. You will have a 70mm mass air flow sensor, the 225 has a 80mm. There is a few options for tuning, you can get a hybrid turbo, or you can do a k04 conversion if you can get all the bits you need from a breaker and just fit a front mount intercooler. Prob work out cheaper. If you want to keep it simple, go for a oversized tip, ( Sfs or badger 5 as proven best gains) fmic & downpipe. This will give you the best flow and there for greater gains for less spend. After this you start spending a pretty penny, also speak to a tuning company before committing to purchasing too much as they may advise you. Hope this helps
@@TheParrottBros wow nice response, yeah it's the 180HP with k03s turbo, I'd like to keep my lil turbo until it dies lol. I know the roof is around 240HP but I am happy with that for the moment. In fact I am happy with 180 but am just starting experimenting, this is the first time I tune a car. Yeah FMIC should help as we have really hot summers here, I am from Spain :)

Thanks Chris, it’s pretty straight forward to be fair. Just make sure you check the pipe from the tip to the puck as it may need replacing like mine and also new jubilees help too. The pipe off the actuator is a bit fiddly but not too bad. Thanks for watching
👋 parrott bros, I have an ESP constant. I believe its the MAF sensor reading to low as I have changed my TIP and filter or is it a leak somewhere possibly?
@@TheParrottBros I'm only getting MAF reading low but when I clear the codes the EML turns off the ESP stays on and I get the same code? Lots of TT's put airfilters on do they get the same MAF issue?
Ok thank you mate. keep us updated. I ordered a tip also and I have a cone filter ready to be installed but I worry about the temps. Is it necessary to put a round pipe between the maf and the cone filter in order to stabilize the air flow that the maf reads ？thank you in advance

Hey first off great video as always. Just changed mine over today but in the higher gears the turbo (i think)seems to be stuttering when accelerating. Just wondering if you have any idea's on the matter. Thanks 😊
Could be a few things, has it always done it or only since you changed your tip? Could be a maf, n75 wrong way or split pipe/ boost leak, missfire or a few other things. Have you got a boost gauge?

How can a wider diameter allow more are in when there’s a bottle neck at the turbo anyway? I agree with smoothing the passages though.
When it needs more air it’s right there for it which allows it to run more smoothly
The oem pipe bottlenecks about 6 inches or 145mm further from the turbo therefore the latency is slightly worse
Love your vids . I will never need to go to a Audi garage again lol 👍 top channel
Appreciate the love dude. I think you alone keep my brain whirring away. Love the questions haha

Hi. I Have a 1999 MK1 225. I've started with this mod. I've noticed an additional pipe running from the air filter box. Tried to look it up looks like it's the auxiliary air pump hose. I didn't see it on your video. What should I do with it . Love the vids an passion. Many thanks.
Alpha Omega hey, yeah you can buy an air filter from ram air and other manufactures that goes over the end of those. My model doesn’t come with that hence why it’s not in my video.

Any idea whether this will fit a left hand drive 225 with APY engine code? Thanks in advance
From what I’ve heard left hand drive can be a pain as you have other things in the way. Speak to bill at badger 5 he will know as he posts them world wide every day
@@TheParrottBros thanks so much, I'll talk to Bill.
Thanks for thé video. Would it be a good idea to place the air filter in a box and feed it with cold air from the original tube located under the wing?
A box increases torque slighting but volume of air trumps cool air in forced induction cars. Cold air feeds are always good
Going to fit my Forge TIP for my K03s when the weather gets better. Got the Ramair already with a forge DV008 and it sounds like a steam train haha
Amazing video as always, keep these TT videos up!
It makes you want to go faster than noise doesn’t it haha. The tip you will notice a mass improvement on the acceleration it just feels like it wants to go more. From memory when I did mine the K03/03’s is a bit more fiddly and does take a bit longer so give yourself plenty of time when you do it. Thanks for watching :)
Ive heard a few people say these overside pipes cause surges on none mapped cars now im i two minds if to get one
Lee Rose I’ve not heard that before but could be true. I’ve never had any issues as you still use a Maf that meters the air that enters the car.
@@TheParrottBros cheers i,ll go a head and order one then. Did yours lower your mpg much as i use mine as a daily commute to work
Lee Rose a little yes but that’s purely because I drove harder as it sounds better when you nail it 😂. It anything should help as it makes airflow better thus less work 😉
@@TheParrottBros 👍🏻cheers
thank you for the video. Can I ask you, is there a specific order where the PCV valve and the DV have to come? because on mine, the previous owner installer the PCV valce on the right side instead of on the left.
And is the new Turbo intake pipe firm? because I can easily squeeze mine. thank you very much!
Do you mean the puck ( pressure reg valve) as long as they are in yhe turbo intake pipe shouldn’t matter too much as it’s just recycling the air back into there.
Should be relatively firm, if it’s too soft it could collapse under boost. Is it stock or after market?
@@TheParrottBros it's an after market, but I suspect it's from Aliexpress, as the previous owner had a lot of Aliexpress tubing in it... I know, because I had to replace every :)
@@thegamebros8455 then you may well wanna swap it out. As can collapse under pressure if sub par design
I note you didn’t install the heat shield, I have noticed that trying to install the heat shield is a nightmare as you end up cutting the pipe which is fraught with danger. Any tips?
I’m yet to install one, not brought one yet and focusing on other jobs but I will at some point when I come to tidy the bay up
Cutting wise is easy enough, work out how much you need to cut off then put a jubilee clip there and tighten it up enough to hold the silicone. Then get a sharp Stanley blade and using the jubilee clip as a straight edge follow it all the way round
The Parrott Bro’s thank you for the tip, did you secure the cone in by any other means or just leave it connected to the MAF and collar?
Darren Swift I made a bracket using a straight bit of metal and bent both ends, one end attached to maf, other end attached to one of the air box mounting points
Put the ram air filter on mine. Was going to get a badger five tip as top reviews. Also done 3"down pipe no cat.
I’ve heard good things about the badger 5 tip certainly a popular choice. A filter, tip and down pipe will make a massive improvement on flow, and make it a lot more responsive.
I'm looking at catless downpipe.. how have you got on with the mots?
New to the channel just got a 02 225 roadster totally standard.. only 55k on the clock.. gonna stage 1 map it with ram air and tip.. have you got links to where you got the pipe please fella...also would a front mount make that much difference with the cone and map combined ..cheers and good vids
Scott Dennis hey buddy, the most popular tip is badger5.co.uk/induction/v3-tip-red_esp-0097/5 this has been proven on the dyno time and time again. A front mount will certainly help as with the side mount coolers it runs out of cool air before the turbo does, I noticed a massive difference when I fitted mine. Well worth it in my Opinion

Hey man so I’ve been looking for a turbo inlet pipe for my mk1 tt 225 but I’m in the USA and I haven’t been able to find one that fits for some reason. I’ve looked on a few sites and a lot of them tell me that the inlet pipe they sell only fits up to the 2002 models and I’m a bit lost on where to find one now for my car. And I’m not sure if the ones in the UK would fit. Any suggestions on where to look or which ones would fit? Thanks for taking the time to read this
Ricky Gomez hey buddy, so I had this exact chat with Badger 5 the other day who makes the oversized turbo intake pipes. He said that it will fit but you may need to trim the bit that goes on to the turbo down so it’s the width of the clip and nothing else. If you give bill a message he will be happy to talk to
You and he will post to USA. You want to look at the v3 option. Hope this helps. Any other issues give me a shout. badger5.co.uk/induction/v3-tip-red_esp-0097/5

Ricky Gomez my pleasure. Yeah it’s a wicked upgrade
Did the B5 tip on mine at the weekend, you still on the original turbo, fins looked fine on mine but there was a clean bit where oil was coming in through the breather and it looked like the fins had cleaned it...
I wouldnt worry too much, a little bit of oil is normal. If your seeing smoke often out the exhaust or your having to top up regular then there might be an issue, if no dont worry too much

@@Trig0r There is no specific mark really, ive spoken to people who have done 200k with original turbos, i know someone with a Qs who has got turbo issues at 50k. i wouldn't worry until you are getting symptoms, if your worried then check back in a couple months
power increase. tt 225 mk1 after cold air filter, inlet pipe and larger downpipe changes? Tia
Anything that increases flow and reduces restriction will aid performance

Where did you find the clips too hold the hose onto the turbo
You can either use jubilee clips or one use clips from a oem stockists

From badger5. Both great bits of kit you won’t be disappointed
Hi. Noob here. What are my options if I want to upgrade/improve the air flow rate of my turbo intake pipe but keep the standard airbox (i'm not a fan of an open cone looks wise)? Is there a pipe available that is only slightly bigger than stock which doesn't have a corrugated inside?
You can buy a silicone equivalent of a stock one which would do a little bit but to be honest your best bet is the oversized one. You can keep stock air box but tip will need some trimming
@@TheParrottBros Thanks man. Gonna go for v3 badger5 tip and stock airbox with proram ramair air filter 😁
I have a 180. What is the best option??
Hmm i would have a look on badger 5 and see if he sells one for the 180, i think only certain engine codes can run a bigger tip as some have water pipes that fowl the route
Love the channel! Where to buy the silicone air-intake that you mention in the vid, and can I use any 80mm conefilter? -Thomas, Norway
Badger 5 sell the best on the market big turbo intake pipe, and yes it will meet up with any 80mm filter providing it fits in the space ( not too massive )
Alroght, im not sure if your car has one but my 180 has a secondary air injection pipe coming from the original air box, but i couldnt see it in your engine bay. I only ask as i put a bit of netting over mine and now i have a P4011 code for reduced flow for the SAI, if you did have that pipe what did you do with it? Cheers
If you search SAI delete for 1.8t online you will see what is required to remove it from your car, Only certain models have the Secondary air pump ( the Bam engine doesnt )
Thanks
hi, great videos, does it fit for a TT mk1 180 hp 2 WD ?
sjl plomberie hey buddy, they do make an intake for the 180, it differs from the 225 as turbo inlet is a different size.
Find your engine code and look on eBay for turbo intake pipe with that three letter engine code
@@TheParrottBros thanks i have found one at www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/
sjl plomberie happy days
Hi, can i install this on my mk1 3.2 v6 or is it just for the 225. Thanks
The intake pipe is designed for a turbo car I’m afraid. I’m sure there is an intake system for a 3.2 but not this buddy
Does this filter only works for the 20v turbo or does it work with 5v to?
The air filter will work with any Maf that size, the turbo intake pipe is turbo specific
@@TheParrottBros I have the 180hp turbo, can I do that? And if yes, do I have to tune it or remap how the air filter works? Because I only see people talking about the audi tt 20v turbo and the ramair site only shows the Normal performance air filter,
Fitted a ram air with heat shield on my 225 and when I come off the gas it sounds like it dumps up twice...is that normal or have I got a leak or problem?
That could well be normal, usually it’s the n249 letting off unneeded pressure and then all the boost pressure going too.
If your car pulls well and is strong all the way up the revs you should be fine
Can you actually feel any difference with this intake pipe? I know it has a bigger cross section and the inside of it is smoother which is better...but the you have a given cross section at the turbo intake so, can you really get more air to the turbo?:)
Yes is the short answer, I put the tip and cone filter on at the same time and instantly noticed it’s more responsive and feels stronger on boost like it’s getting more air. Here is what I found on line which explains why ( its been dyno proven many times in 1.8t platform as well :) ) Increasing the pipe diameter causes the pressure and velocity of the gas to decrease. ... Changes to engine geometry and specifications can produce better torque, power, volumetric efficiency and more. The technique known as wave tuning can lead to better engine torque and power.
The great thing about the Maf sensor, is that it measures the density of the air being used by the engine. Simple data logging shows that you get more air over the rev range, as well as earlier onset. Easily measured, and easily proven
BWS TT Mr TT! Thanks for that knowledge, I guess that’s why they’re so popular, easy to fit good gains relatively low cost
Great video man! I am over here in the US and completely tore apart the tip forgot the orientation k04 this video helped!
Appreciate the comment, glad it helped, heard it’s a lot harder to fit a tip on lhd, thanks for watching.
I'm wondering as I've just got mine,not a fan of open filters in the engine bay,i've odereded an pipercross filter to keep it with the stock housing so I can still feed it with some cold air,for stage 1 will it be a massive difference from your kit to stock one,in real world use? or will the silicone aftermarket hose fit the stock housing ?
Quite a few people fit the oversized tip's to a stock air box and it will still increase the amount of airflow to the engine over the stock pipe, the only downside with the stock airbox is you are limited to the spout in the wings diameter for airflow. Not horrendous on stock however when tuning is something most tunes would recommend changing out. You may lose some of the added bonus of the larger tip however still an upgrade
@@TheParrottBros The Wakbox mod on the stock box addresses that. It's worth getting a 2nd hand airbox in case the mod somehow goes wrong!
Big fan of your vids and just got a TT 1.8T BAM last month! Excited to start work on it. I was wondering if you need a remap with your new intake or is it okay to run as is? Cheers, Laurence.
Laurence Shotliff firstly thank you! Secondly yes you can run this without a map as the maf meters the air it intakes so don’t worry about it, a map will enhance it though 😎
I have a Seat Leon 1M -01 20vt4 (180hp, but stage 1 at 215hp) that i'm about to fit a Creation Motorsport oversized tip onto that allows for the bigger 225hp MAF and bigger BSR airfilter, hoping for some more gains since the small JR filter i use now might restrict the airflow more than the original boxed-up filter did. I don't know how much differs between the 180hp engines to the 225hp ones, but they say that there is a coolant pipe running close to the inlet of the turbo that might need to be deformed or slightly moved to fit an oversized tip, did you have to do this? I got the oversized tip for about 80£ (new in packaging but never used) and MAF + BSR filter with heatshield for 25£ (Used).
The other things to consider is will you need to change the maf sensor inside the housing to the 70mm one as will throw your Ecu out. If you have a k03s turbo the inlet size may be different and the k04 225 Tip won’t fit and will
Slide off
@@TheParrottBros I still got both MAF's because I've heard that the one for the AUQ might have 4 pins while the BAM (and probably other 225hp engines as well) have 5 pins, don't know if it's true but I will experiment and see what combination works best. Thanks for the heads up, I've already made sure that I bought the correct oversized tip. This one should have the fitting dimensions for the K03s turbo but also have an oversized dimension fitting towards the MAF to be able to fit the bigger MAF housing.
Markus Johansson so yeah from what I’ve heard people say you have to force the water pipe over slightly but defiantly check with others first as I’ve no personal experience on doing it
wicked
I'm looking to do this as the TIP has a hole in it lol. Did you buy the cone filter separately?
Twxii That would be a good reason for replacing it ha ha, yes I bought the cone filter separately, you can get them most places, if you have 225 you will need a filter with a 80 mm opening
@@TheParrottBros You mentioned installing the heat shield at a later date, do you know where you can get just the heat shield? I've only really been seeing them included with the Ramair cone filter.
Yeah the guys at cloude9customs.com/product/heat-shield/ sell one, they also sell the ram air filter and shield. They should have it in stock shortly
where do you buy the tube?
which tube are you referring to? the inlet pipe can be bought from badger 5
Nice video! I was like "how does he have so much space to remove it?" until i realized your brake master cylinder is on the right side of the car..... I'm struggeling to get mine of because my LHD 225 got the cylinder in the way...
Ice Cube yeah they are a pain but believe they will go. I was chatting with bill from badger 5 who said it is possible.
Do I need a tune to do this swap?
You don’t, however to make the most of any mods a tune will help, the car will adjust its fueling based on how much air comes in
@@TheParrottBros awesome!! Now I have a lot of confidence installing my intake. However, I do know that I will need a tune whenever I install a downpipe. Looking forward to stage 2.
Great vid, this is on my to-do list. Quick question. Where did you get the fasteners for the plastics on the engine bay?
Thanks, it’s certainly worth going. Which fasteners are you on about buddy,
@@TheParrottBrosyou know, the common problem on the TTs where the original plastic screw clips would crack and break off, leaving all the cosmetic plastic covers loose and generally looking like crap. It looks like you've replaced all yours with metal screws and stuff

What is the different between apx motor and the other ones? And does those fit in to that apx motor?
The turbo intake pipes are divided between two options the 180 and 225bhp models. Engine specific codes cover things like if the car has a wide band ecu etc
The Parrott Bro’s so does all the apx motors have 225bhp?
Yes the apx is a 225bhp. You have a narrowband ecu and no egt sensor. That’s the main difference between apc and bam

Hi. i have a tt mk1 225 hp, and the exhaust manifold almost get red for getting hot. İs it normal? How can i fix it? No one of mechanics could fix is in my city. Thanks for help.
The exhaust manifold / turbo does get very hot but if it is glowing cherry red it could be a restriction in the exhaust/ restricted catalytic converter, it could be a lean air fuel mixture, or retarded ignition timing all of the above should cause a loss of power or fuel economy.
The main problem with the cone filter is the intake air temps, hotter air is less dense and doesn't allow this upgrade to fully benefit, the stock filter housing pulls air from the inner fender which is cold air not from inside the engine bay which has been heated by the radiator, engine, air-conditioning condenser and so on
I agree, I had many Vtecs and a cold air intake was worth it ie went from the throttle body to lower front bumper but on the TT I’ve simply updated the panel filter. Unless you fabricated a cold air intake pipe into the inner wing not sure either.
the air goes through a red hot turbo don't think a cone filter makes that much difference to inlet temps, you have an intercooler to cool down the inlet air anyway
Do you reckon this TIP is smaller than the badger5? Want to put a tip in mine but the badger5 wont fit on LHD, as theres a brake booster, brake cylinder and fluid reservoir near the tip on LHD.
Subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing :) size wise they are very similar looking at pictures. Have a look at the forge tip, that’s a lot slimmer at the bottom should fit better.
The Parrott Bro’s but if it's slimmer what's the point???😂 😂
Gplus sucks big it’s slimmer
Towards the end, still larger at filter end and bigger and
Stronger than stock. But yes not as big but the difference will be 1/2 bhp
Cant wait for the upload on boost problems, mine boost fine for a while but after a bit of a kicking it goes into limp mode,if I turn car of and back on again it's fine again,iv changed the n75 valve but still the same😂
A friend of mine is actually suffering from the same issues at present, do you have any way of checking the fault codes? VCDS or a obd reader? I will try and cover as much as possible, a good percentage of these now are suffering from simple boost issues.
@@TheParrottBros I know what you mean, it's not throwing any fault codes up,its so annoying 😆
stuart winstanley always the way, when you go to sort it there is no fault to test against. The worst kind
That most likely means it's a vacuum or pressure leak in the system because the ECM doesn't read it . I recommend performing a pressure test with smoke. I have a 2001 TT 225bhp with an AMU engine that I have built almost entirely from scratch and this is a common problem to sort out. I have over $1600.00 american dollars tied up in FORGE hoses, FORGE Waste Gate Valve, FORGE 008 Divertor Valve, and much, much more but I still have the same problem you're struggling with. An Audi TT Mk1 225bhp is not an automotive project for amateurs because it requires a lot of time, research, tools, strong thin hands, flexible body, skinny arms, and a lot of disposable money to eliminate all fault codes (if you haven't figured that out already). I have been working on my project for over 15 months and I'm still not done with all the niggly bits that drive you nuts! Never give up and you'll get it!
@@geofflockley1176 yeah mine turned out to be down to a stupid blow off valve I had recently installed,removed and replaced with original,so back to normal now.

I have a 2003 Seat Toledo 20VT (AUQ) its the BAM's small brother I guess lol, it is completely stock, well I have a catback exhaust. My plan is to get done a clever stage 1, get a SFS Supersized TIP (70mm) the Forge 008 DV and replace the stock and tired N75 for a new N75J from Audi, what do you think of this setup. Next year I would do the 3" downpipe and some other mods for a stage 2 remap. I am not really sure about the TIP size, according to the website the A15H/A for my engine code is 70mm, I guess 80mm wouldnt fit? What size is the Forge TIP I cant find info about it? It was my other candidate but people say SFS is way better than Forge.
So there’s quite a few things to consider with this, the AUQ I believe is a 180 hp, if this is the case you run a K03 style turbo which has a small inlet than a 225 k04 would so they are different. You will have a 70mm mass air flow sensor, the 225 has a 80mm.
There is a few options for tuning, you can get a hybrid turbo, or you can do a k04 conversion if you can get all the bits you need from a breaker and just fit a front mount intercooler. Prob work out cheaper.
If you want to keep it simple, go for a oversized tip, ( Sfs or badger 5 as proven best gains) fmic & downpipe. This will give you the best flow and there for greater gains for less spend.
After this you start spending a pretty penny, also speak to a tuning company before committing to purchasing too much as they may advise you.
Hope this helps
@@TheParrottBros wow nice response, yeah it's the 180HP with k03s turbo, I'd like to keep my lil turbo until it dies lol. I know the roof is around 240HP but I am happy with that for the moment.

@@dani390z I try my best to help haha then yeah flow mods will be your best bet, fmic wise look at golf mk4 videos on RUclips. Similar routing. You can buy a kit from gravity performance for a reasonable amount
so for a 2003 1.7 Turbo, that would be a 70mm - I checked Ramair site and cannot see the 2003 TT on the list.
