Default APR Stage 3 turbo boost average??

Okay, now that my oil line issue is solved I am now officially a Stage 3 owner. My issue is that the power seems a little low from what I was expecting. So my question is, what is the normal boost levels for this kit with 91 octane program? I seem to spike at about 20 psi and hold 16-17 till redline. Should there be more boost? I do not think there are any leaks and it runs fine. Is the quattro what makes it seem less powerful? I have a Passat that was running a T3/04B with 265HP to the wheels and it seemed much faster... of course the wheelspin in that car might have something to do with it. What are you other Stage 3 owners boosting at? David

Sounds right to me. Eliminating wheel spin and a heavier awd car will make a big difference.

Default 18-19 psi all the time with spikes to 25..--->

smooth power unless you wait till about 4300 rpm..then all hell breaks loose and this thing folds space like a car being rear-ended by an 18 wheeler.
