despite a bum hand, me and a few buddies got the k04 in today,
however the car is having issues, and while it feels smooth, the car
is still slow.

Please read through all this, im at my witts end with this car..

Im boosting about 23psi and its settling to about 18-20... seems a little high... im on the regular k04 GIAC file

and it doesnt seem to be a huge step over the chipped k03... i dunno,
maybe its because i had to clear the fuel trims, or only did a key
tba... maybe ill look more into that tomorrow... sounds a whole lot
different, but my exhaust leak is more prevalent (only happens in
boost), and its coming from the rear muffler section...

uhhh, the coolant leak is the least of my worries, my logs translated
into a 10sec caps... WTF?!

the turbo is boosting, the maf is from a newer parts car, i reset
fuel trims, i did a vag-tba...

i also had the same issues with the chipped k03... so im sure it has
nothing to do with the turbo...

the logs read a/f are decent, so that makes me think a clogged cat,
or bad o2s...

but once again, the car boosts 23psi, so doesnt that rule out a
clogged cat?

how am i getting 23psi, and good 02 readings on block 31? i would
think this would be very lean, and thats where i feel im losing my
power...

think there could be a leak somewhere? would that be able to make
some kind of rattling noise/power problems? or can i rule that out
since im making too much boost?

or maybe its in the TIP? squeezing air past the maf? but wouldnt
block 031 catch that? 032 shows itspulling 4% at idle...


on top of this, i have what appears to be a rear main seal leak
Oile coming from where the block meets the bellhousing..


I would appreciate any insight on this
