I do not. It appears to be custom machined.

Getting that line off is easier said than done. I wanted to take it off when I was doing my HPFP but couldn't get it. Or maybe I just wasn't doing it right.

Ur turbo seals are ****ed from running catless and high boost...the sooner you accept that the sooner you'll be on the right track to fix it and not have a smoking car anymore.

Can I buy your ptp from you?

EDIT: Nevermind... I just read that it's actually only needed for non-OE downpipes.

My 09 smokes like a chimney at idle. I had the PTP pill, and banjo bolt, plus 5w-40. Nothing stops the torrent of smoke. It sucks but I am just going to get a BNR in there and be done with it. Oh well at least tax returns this year will soften the blow...

When did your 09 start smoking? Do you have a catless downpipe? If so, was it fine for a while and then started smoking later on?

I've been catless and running 18psi for about 10-12k miles now and still no smoke at idle <knock on wood>.

Only exhaust mods are resonator deletes and a exhaust shop racepipe. Downpipe is stock. It has been smoking for about 6 months though but I found that if I keep the rpms above 1k at idle it wont smoke, so I usually do that manually at lights.
