2.7tt tb on a 24v vr

o3specvq · May 10, 2012

i didn't know if anyone knew that a 2.7tt tb bolts right up to the 24v manifold and plugs right in? just have to run a coolant bypass. Its about a 1/8" larger then the oem 24v tb. I had one lieing around so i bolted it on. I wouldn't expect any gains unless your under forced induction, but its nice to know. Sorry if this is a repost and already general knowledge. Just thought i'd share.

Actually pretty cool since it's not water cooled. Does anyone know if this bolts up and works with a 12v?

show me how you did the coolant bypass. im interested.

Now we just need to tell our short runner manifold builders to bore it out for the larger tb. Cheap easy upgrade

have you run it yet?
curious if you have felt a difference or not.. maybe more throttle response...

o3specvq · May 10, 2012

Yes I've ran it. If anything I have a bit more tq around 3500-4500 rpm's im also flashed stage 2

Just drove it again and it does have split second throttle response. Still has the nasty problem of if you shift too fast it bulks. But if your just cruising in a gear and strike it, its pretty instant go. Also I think cooling a tb with coolant is a dumb idea anyway so with the 2.7 tb I think it should stay cooler. I don't understand why vw tries to "cool" our oem tb with coolant while its attached to a plastic manifold..... how does heat transfer from plastic to aluminum? So in actuality the hot a$$ engine coolant flowing through the oem tb just keeps it hot at all times.

Hah I've always wondered that?

its not for cooling, its to prevent freezing in very low temps which could cause moisture to freeze or some **** and damage the stepper motor. same reason why they have a pcv heater stock. to prevent freezing while in operation. so basically, its just another thing to delete

Lol awesome! It seems the more we delete on our cars the better they become.......

I thought those two were to help emissions??

What did you do with the coolant line that went to the t/b? Any pics of it want to try it on my 12V

Just put a hose barb in between the two lines to connect them.

From what I can tell the 12v and 24v have the same bolt pattern. So it will defiantly bolt up. Don't know about the rest
