a boost machine will have better and smoother results. i run a "K" valve mainly because
my Dahlback chip works well with it and that is what it was tuned with. i had a BM with my APR and couldn't get any better than with any other N75 valves.

I had one...
It did produce more boost, but was spikier than stock. Then it died & I went back to stock. It was used when I got it, but it only survived about 6-9 months in my car. My stock valve has 85,000 miles, minus that 6-9 months.

Why?
It's just an Audi "H" valve with the part number ground off. Works for some, not for others. My observation is it's spikey and relatively short lived. Others have found the same. Since it says "Race" though, some have to try it...

Apologies Steve, I just was struck by the evolution of opinion on this product. I was an early
purchaser of the "Race N75" back in 2002 when it was the hot new thing offered by ECS. I promoted it among VW and TT friends as cheap and easy power.
Shortly thereafter, mine failed violently by surging and eractic signaling. Sorry if my own low opinion of the "Race" N75 product took the wrong tone. :-)

Ah......No problem.....I had one too.....>>
Seemed like a good idea at the time. Didn't work on Qu!cksilva's stage 3 and he passed it along to me. Finally got inconsistant too and I eventually slammed the hood on it (accidentally)......Boost Machine works better with a stock valve anyway...:-)
ECS used to complain about me almost daily to the Mods before I became an advertiser here even after recommending them a ton....I'm not going to stoop to that level..
