1.8T Exhaust Products
The Audi/VW 1.8T & 2.0T engines are a fixture
in many vehicles between the two manufacturers.
A 1.8L or 2.0L, 4-cylinder, turbocharged engine
that comes in two configurations: Longitude
and Transverse. The longitude engine is found
in the Audi A4 and VW Passat. The transverse
engine is found in the Jetta, Golf, GTI.
The fact that the car is turbocharged allows room for exhaust modifications that make your engine breathe better & produce horsepower. The engine is fairly robust and can handle a bevy of modifications that include turbo swaps with K03, K04 and Garrett turbos.
Fast Intentions makes a series of exhaust modifications
that are designed to replace components that
reside after the turbo & before the cat-back
exhaust. The product line includes two components:
High-flow catalytic converters (HFC) and Testpipes.
All components are made of Stainless Steel,
welded from the inside, ported & polished
for a smooth surface, and mandrel bent on-site
at Fast Intentions.
High-Flow Catalytic converters are made to
bolt directly to K03 & K04 turbos. The HFC
is a 300-cell metallic converter that will pass
emissions tests. They are built with laser-cut
3-bolt flanges and two oxygen sensor bungs for
proper ECU readings. The inlet diameter of the
HFC is 2.5” at the turbo.
Testpipes are straight pipe replacements for HFC’s. These are designed for off-road & track use only. They are made in 2.5” & 3.0” diameters. We recommend using 2.5” diameter for all K03 & K04 applications. If using a testpipe, you will encounter a Check Engine Light (CEL) because the ECU does not see a difference in the exhaust readings recorded by the oxygen sensors once they are released from the turbo. We do not have a solution for eliminating the CEL at this time. If you encounter this, you will need to use a VAG-COM or other specific diagnostic software to clear any fault codes.
All 1.8T exhaust components come with mounting
hardware and a lifetime warranty from Fast Intentions
against workmanship & product defects. Exhaust
products from Fast Intentions are made to order.
Please allow 3-5 days lead time prior to actual
shipment of your order.
“The Shotgun”
The Shotgun is the latest innovation from Fast Intentions. This product is made specifically
for 1.8T Longitude engines that have undergone
Stage 3 turbo upgrades using Garrett GT series
turbos. Anyone that is using an APR, TurboByGarrett.com
or some sort of Garrett GT series turbo, this
testpipe is for you!
For this application, Fast Intentions used an application that helped them first launch in the import exhaust business…the 300ZX twin turbo. They used the flange & spacer from the 300ZX application to make the shotgun come to life for 1.8T Stg.3 applications.
The Shotgun bolts directly to your Garrett
GT series turbo. There are no adapters needed
to make your exhaust bolt to the shotgun. On
the split side of the shotgun is a Garrett GT
series turbo specific flange. The “handle”
side of the shotgun consists of a 3-bolt flange
that bolts directly to Fast Intentions, OEM
& aftermarket downpipes.
The Shotgun is the missing link needed to obtain “Tantrum-causing” performance for your 1.8T Stage 3 application!!!
