My 91 Eco jetta, now a true turbo jetta since installation of a Giles pump
and a 2.5" down pipe and 2.5" exhaust system all the way back. I got a SS
flowmaster off Ebay a long time ago for a really good price and used it on
the Jetta. Quiet and the engine breaths well. Not saying to get a
Flowmaster but I was lucky to find one on Ebay. The bigger you can make the
exhaust on a "turbo" diesel the better. They love to breath and it will make
a big difference in power and performance. It really woke mine up before I
put the Giles pump on. My boost went from 9psi to 12psi just by opening up
the exhaust. I still say it is one of the first things a "turbo" diesel
person should do if they want to improve performance and economy. I average
47mpg on mine but have been able to get up to 52mpg.
