Default Need advice on running high boost through my K04...

I am currently running the MTM Stage 3 with a Monaco N75K valve that I just put in. I absolutely love the power delivery and there are NO surges whatsoever. Problem is this thing boosts like crazy. I spike about 28psi and hold 23psi until 4600rpms when it drops off to 18psi or so. This setup was dynod on my buddies MTM Stage 3 car in canada on the same dyno and the car gained 10hp and 40lb/ft of torque. Anyone else run this kind of boost. I'm wondering if the K04s days are limited. Thanks...Cheers! Mike

Default Is this a K04-15?

If so the K04 kit that runs a GIAC chip for the 2000 A4 has a chip that run 28psi, you just need to make sure your not leaning the car out with that high boost. Just dont expect the turbo to last forever running like that.

Default Exactly, a K04-15. I have logged lambda and it looks solid under WOT...

I can remember talking to Matt and recalled him running the J31 (not sure if this is correct) software pushing the same psi so I just wanted to be sure. Thanks for the info. Your car is looking great and I heard about your 1.8T challenge results. Congrats man. You deserve it. Cheers! Mike

Thanks Matt. It's been 300 miles and she's running good. Now will she make it 300 more
