I would just drill it out to 1.5 mm if you plan to keep the stock turbo, 2.5 mm if hou go for a bushed core.

The banjo threads into the block just in front of the passenger front drive shaft.

Finally getting around to doing this today. Do I need to prime the turbo afterwards?

You may blow the oil seals out or damage the bearings if you go too big on the stock setup. How much it will take? Who knows. Just clean it for now.

The banjo bolts into the block right behind the aircon pump and in front of the passenger driveshaft. It can be a pain to get out and watch you dont cross thread it when it goes back in.

Hi everyone ,

Very new to this forum.....first post.

My name is Paul and I reside across the ditch in Hamilton New Zealand.Ive just purchased a 2001 250t rs four and are lovin it.Lots of great info on this site and I have been just about reading non stop every chance I can get.

What I would like to do is help the engine breath a little easier and it looks like the best way to go about this is to get rid of the standard dump pipe. To this end reading up here Scot is the man to see regarding this.

So Scott if you read this can you please tell me if you still are able to supply the turbo dump pipes or not as I would be very interested to purchase one.

Best regards Paul

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
