Manual Boost Controller

Will a manual boost controller work on the 1.8t, or will it just mess things up?

Also suggestions on boost controller, and how much boost can be run on a more or less stock motor without blowing the block or turbo?

Still new to the whole audi world so any suggestions would be great while I am waiting for the APR Stage 3+ kit to come out.

I suggest that you just wait a little longer.

Stage 3+ has been released, just needs to go into production.

I wouldn't screw around with just a boost controller. Just buy a chip, or wait.

what turbo are you running?

I would not do it on a stock or K04 turbo, unless its a K04-25. On a stage III or PES kit, its great. I ran 1.3 bar with a greddy profec B (T-28) and I recently went for a ride in a 2L APR Stg III with a greddy profec B.
