Default K04 and Borla catback install completed

i swapped in the K04 and hung the exhaust in 5 hours on my own while hung over saturday

the borla sounds great. nice deep growl.

the K04 is much louder than the K03 when spooling.

butt dyno noticed huge gain even though i am still on the K03 x-chip. i can only half throttle it right now cause it goes into limp
mode pretty easy. i had to swap back in the stock n75 valve just to make it driveable.


on another subject the tip chip only made a tenth of a second quicker 1/4 mile time on friday night[&o]

i was kinda hoping for about a half a second

i think it is caused when actual boost psi becomes higher than requested by the ecu?

no fmic yet panda


i know it is a good mod but it seems to be the mod that is hard to cut loose of the cash for

and i would like to find a nice used unit for sale rather than pay full price for a new one

hard to say what the exhaust alone did for performance, and it not running on the proper software at the moment
