Just got back form a weekend of drunken mayhem spent in Portsmouth , NH. Hope everyone has recovered well!

Looks like My Xtracare warranty will get it's first use. Burning oil smell on occasion when stopped, really got a whiff today while backing up @ 10 MPH, maybee crank seal? Need rear wheel bearings too, just starting to notice 40+ MPH drone getting somewhat louder.

Anyone here gone with new version of O.CT Statmosphere Stage 3, Down Pipes, Milltec?
I'm going to wait till spring to do turbos.

n75 valve was starting to control boost. If they fixed that problem then the software would be good. I made plenty of power(same as giac x chip/stage 2+) with Milltek downpipes, and exhaust(stage 2+). The studdering the Oct chip did in my allroad was very annoying, it would stumble for a mile going up the hill on Route 80 into the Poconos.

There K04 tip software for the allroad needed a lot of work, it did the same studder thing, plus had throttle cut besides.

I guess it's the 391 Lb-Ft of Tq. that draws me in. I know GIAC is more "conservative" in thier tapering the 1.2 bar of boost at higher rpm's to go a little easier on the turbos. I would'nt mind if I blew a K03 or 2 So my warranty would pay for the labor on a K04 upgrade.

How long ao did you have the software in, I remember reading through posts and seeing you say the same? What version? If that crap happened to me I'd be bull.

Ahh I may just drop the hammer on the head and go for the GIAC X. I'm ordering my exhaust and dp's tonight.

Thanks
