Default I did

my friend and I both installed EFK's on the same weekend and we both lost ~3psi right after. The only thing I can think of is that there is less strain on the engine, therefore requiring less boost to produce the same (or better) results as pre-EFK. From what I understand, the boost levels are "load based" via software, so perhaps less load equals less boost. Just a thought. <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/799345.phtml">Here's </a> the original post after installing the EFK.

Default Andy - please do keep me updated - I'm very curious as to other people's experience with this

feel free to email me or post in the A4 and I'll probably see it. Shot me an email if you have any install questions too. Good luck
