Default reminds me of the scene in There's Something About Mary

when Stiller gets caught in his Zippers...."hey you guys needs to see this"

So I played with the N75 and MBC last night. I actually get a large spike with that setup. I didn't like it. The partial boost was far better tho. But to hold 20 psi, I spiked to the 25 psi limit on my gauge. Then I tried the N75 alone, but couldn't get enough boost. I have the EBC/N75 going now. Boost is steadier, but part throttle is the same as the EBC alone.

Default also, will chime in here too...

ray, to fix this you should:

a: take the tower bar off
b: have the firewall welded with NO load on the front suspension
c: reinstall the tower bar

A friend of mine now owns his old A4. Yes, it did it, too. Nearly all A4s I've seen to some degree

Default Why sure! Welding is fun! You will of course have to sign a lengthy disclaimer my lawyer will draft.
