Default Is that a spike or a sustained amount of boost? If you are sustaining that much boost on K03
software, then there is some kind of problem.

Default I don't have a boost gauge on my car, but I think they reach around 17-18 psi and taper to less than
1 bar near redline.

If 15-16psi, then you're in good shape.

That's fine, but you may want to consider running MBC in parallel to eliminate/reduce that spike.

Default I have a JoeP, which is real nice. With that said, I'd recommend....
the Piggie MBC. It is very similar to the JoeP, but comes with all the right sized fittings to work on the S4. If you get the JoeP, you have to buy addtional fittings. All in all, they are very good at serving their purpose.
