I have been running a set like these for 4 months that were custom made by SGP. Mine actually dump to the atmosphere, and sound mean. On Ellas1's car, they cut the flange where the wastegate dumps into the downpipe and welded the hole in the downpipe closed. I tried this the first time and melted 2 pistons. The problem is the heat dumps right on the back of the block.
When you relocate the wastegates, you can get around this problem. I have had no issues since this mod and love it. Did I forget to mention I picked up 30whp with this? The turbulence created on the stock Greddy set up inhibits exhaust flow and robs power.
Glad to see this available to other TT's. Nice job overzealous1~

bummer, had to reschedule my dynotime today. we are building an exhaust system right now and didn't get finished last night. hopefully done today or early tomorrow. so dyno runs and sound clips will happen still, just another day or 2 till the car is ready.

if you read t32gzz's post above, it sounds as though he had his the same way and it gave him alot of probs. if the "stock" greddy return is just cut off and welded closed, when the wastegate opens you will be spitting flames all over the area when it hits the downpipe (only being an inch away) and scatter the flames. if they havn't had a problem yet, than that is good, but you may want to look at that area before doing muh more testing to make sure no damage has happened.
this is a simple bolt on way that will be entirely safe and will shoot the flames under the car. believe me, at full throttle, you will shoot flames out of the wastegate when it opens.
