Default S3 boost pressure -- ????

Is it true that the S3 turbo produces 2.0 bar boost pressure?

I own a TT 180 hp, and I'm Wett-chipping the engine (210 hp expected... or so the tuner says), which would result in up to 1.1 bar boost pressure. But if the S3's KO4 turbo can handle THAT boost, then maybe I should consider installing one of those and getting rid of the stock KO3...

Any comments will be helpful... !

m8, if the s3 is pushing out 2.0 bar boost it is probably also pushing out about 300bhp! (Isnt it about 1 bar?).

BTW, find out the truth on www.sport-3.net!

I doubt it would even put out 1bar in standard trim

Maybe it's atmosphere PLUS 1 bar = 2bar?
