RE: confused... how bout diode mod with K04???
lol diode modification, umm probably easiest way to explain is to do a search, I'm to lazy right now to go through it. Basically you put a diode (like a resistor) on your map sensor so that the ecu doesn't go into limp mode under higher than stock boost numbers, and with a manual boost controller you can put it up to about 15-18psi on factory software, thus beating the need for a chip. But search it to get a better understanding.

Money isn't an issue, I'm just seeing if there is an alternat way of doing it, like the diode mod instead of chipping the K03.

Bad idea. dont screw up your car, just get it chipped

I have a feeling you are talking about those crappy ebay "chips"..

umm the diode mode? What are you talking about??

man, thats a nice write up...
If you have a ko3s i would say keep the ko3 chip and getting a adj fpr. But going from a ko3 to a ko4 will be a bigger jump. You can make it work, but specific sw and fueling would give you better results than just increasing turbos and fuel pressure. You can always give it a shot, but i wouldnt risk it without a way to monitor a/f ratios.

What about using Lemmiwinks, couldn't I use that to tweak a few things on the factory software... I agree probably absolute best way to go is just buying software, but I'm exploring other routes first. Lets put our heads together and figure something out!
