WTB: Test Pipe

[BeautifulAudi]

Let me know what you have for a 1.8TQM!

[Turbo_B5]

Clicky... just get some quality gaskets.

[Rodgman15]

For real ^^^ Manzo ebay test pipe works great.

[Davdraco1]

I always thought it put the primary 02 bung in a way where the sensor would hit the manifold.

no it may fuck with the secondary one though. may need to get a 90 bend. w

[Davdraco1]

Delete that SOB! But seriously, great "inexpensive" alternative.

[Rodgman15]

Now that it's mentioned, I did Dremel away a bit of material for clearance for one of the o2 sensors, but definitely nothing serious.

Manzo test pipes are garbage and don't fit. Don't waste your time, you'll regret it. The front O2 sensor rarely clears the exhaust manifold, if ever. You can even see in @king_ pic that the front bung sits right in the middle. It needs to be offset to the left, away from the engine. There is a better one sold on ebay by superspeedworldshop and superstreetparts it has the offset front O2 bung that will clear the exhaust manifold and is nearly identical to 034's test pipe. I have bought Manzo and these. This one works correctly and fits. I bought the $72.99 one from superstreetparts but the other looks to be exactly the same and cheaper. It's your choice. Oh don't worry about it saying B6 it will fit B5 1.8T.

You can't delete the front O2 sensor, only the rear.

[Davdraco1]

I was referring to the rear sensor.

This manzo pipe is on its 3rd car. First was a stage 5 build.

Does anyone know if I will have O2 sensor reading issues if I put the primary sensor and connector into the secondary location? I have my secondary coded out.

I was just wondering that.

Not sure if serious


Skip the ebay crap, I still have my ATP 3" test pipe in a box somewhere if you're interested.

I am serious It was on waterboys stage 5 build before he parted it and fell off the fourms.

How much?

How much?

Your car will run like shit. It is supposed to read EGTs etc from directly after the turbo.

Exactly, right in the middle and dangerously close to the exhaust manifold. Their QC is crap, could easily come offset towards the engine instead of away. I've had one that didn't fit before. Stick with the slightly more expensive stuff I linked. Then if you upgrade your exhaust mani for a bigger turbo you won't need a new one and you won't have to worry about fitment right now.

Is that just a turbo or VAG thing? I have seen countless post on other forums where people place it in a different location. Its just crazy that the maybe 6" matters that much.

This guy doesn't know what he is talking about.

o2 sensors do not read EGT's, they read air/fuel ratios.

Secondly, *if you are running catless* you can put the primary o2 sensor wherever the hell you want as long as there are no exhaust leaks before it. If you are running a cat, it HAS to be before the catalyst.

[Turbo_B5]

Good to hear redline

What would happen if i put the o2s backwards?

This?

I don't know why I said EGT. It was early in the AM. However, it seems that AF ratios are better read closer to the turbo in the stock location. Before readings become biased in the exhaust stream.

Tell that to Dyno tuners who clip an o2 sensor at the tail pipe to get their readings

[HUFset]

Still easier to use a sensor in a bung rather than plugging it. Whatever. The manzo tp is shit.

says the guy who doesn't run one. When I get a high flow manifold il just move the o2 to the rear location.

Says the guy with that engine bay.

I've owned two. One fit the other didn't. They are shit. I gave an easy alternative that's still cheap.

Exactly what I thought. Thank you
