18-20 psi will take life of your turbo fo sho, but that just means you get a K04 sooner. Just let the turbo cool before shutdown (turbotimer) and you will be ok. Enjoy your new found boost and get a DV now cuz your stock one is proly taking a **** as we speak........

its easy to say just get a bigger turbo with all the goodies. but I only spent 10k on my whip. how much would the BT and all goodies be? like 3K? i could put that down on a newer S4 and then really be pimpin w/ 350 hp!!

LMAO! hahah.. thats like me saying I don't go 100 at least once a day! I got pulled last night! 64 in a 50 speed trap. good thing I know some cops. got a warning. but I have a feeling there won't be too many more of those. there's only so much the local cops can do for me before they have to drop the hammer.
I have decided to change my driving habits from now on. no more speeding. no more taking tight turns. no more street racing.
YEAH RIGHT!
