not everyone can use it, trust it, or install it.  A chip is still the best way to make power and reliably.  This is just a cheap thing to do until you go that route or bigger

So I guess what your really saying is if I got the $500 to spend I should go the chip/flash route unless I plan on going BT in the future.

this has few more limitations than a chip. it will not make as much power as a chip because you cannot alter your redline. Also (though some say you don't have to) you need to increase the amount of fuel you inject and advance your timming for best results. The reason people still pay for a chip is the same reason people still pay people to change there oil.

the power dies past 5500rpms.  Why would you need to increase the revs past 6800? Your making about 30-40hp less there than 5500rpms.

do a little research on the early chrysler omni/daytona/laser cars. this was one of the first things you would do to the 2.2 turbos. MBC and a zener diode would drop minimum of a second in the quarter.

Would the diode mod work on my 2000 A6 2.7t?

finally installed my podi and boost controller set at 11-13 psi spike and hold about 10psi.  It runs a little stronger but i cannot wait to get this diode soldered in.  Until then will i need to add fueling or timing?

cincytt how or what do i need to do to get rid of the blow through dv  set-up cause honestly i hate it, not to mention it put unneeded stress on the turbo causing compressor surge and makes them **** long before there due, and i say this cause i have actually put a k03s turbo on a honda and have over 180k on the snail with no issues at all, but hear about some of them dying way to soon in life,  so i guess what im getting at is can it be change with out a ton of money and not getting a cel or unliked drivability issues

You will be fine with no adjustment up to 18psi.  After that you should check vag logs and add fuel if needed

The turbos die becuase of not letting them cool, over boost them, or some other strange mishap like wastegate nut comes loose or something gets sucked into the intake.  They are great turbos and will easily last over 100k miles if taken car of.  The dv system has nothing to do with it, they flow enough as is

that did not anwser the question, i know they last longer then 100k but what i want to know is the way to eliminate the blow through dv set-up

I seriously have no idea what you are talking about.  either be clearer or i can not help you.  The stock system/design works fine for the stock turbo.

Thanks Cincy!  I just got my APR chip so I guess I will get the extra boost that way!

what was not clear, i asked is there a way to eliminate the blowthrough dv system. and if i just vented it to the atmoshere what would happen in doing so

See, that was way more clear.  There is a language problem here.  Yes, you can vent instead of recirculate.  You just need to use a foge004 or HKS ssqv

what about adjusting the fuel and air mixture? Does this mod take into considerations everything that goes into an internal combustion engine or does it just boost pressure?  How does this mod get the fuel injectors to spit out more?  I''d love to try this, but if all it does is boost pressure, I''ll have to past..

Newbie question... is is cool to just install the diode, and will you still see performance improvements?

Thanks, Sebas

Just installing a diode wont do anything for you.

The increase in flow from the maf and the o2 will allow the ecu to control the a/f to a point.  This is why we limit it to 17psi on stock fueling and no other changes.  I have taken it a step further with a stroked 1.8 to 2.0 and you can see my results in my sig.  This is with a perfect 12:1 a/f from peak boost on.

Its really not.  most people with chips run in the 20-22psi range.
