Default KO4 might not be enough :(

So I was driving around yesterday lovin my new found boost, only like 9 psi but it feels like a totally different car. So there I am, sitting in the turning lane...light turns green so I go around the corner and decide to open'r up. I check the rear view to make sure there's no red and blue flashing lights and what do I see, a late 80's early 90's acura integra keeping up with me. So I slow down and drive like a sane person for a bit. This integra and I play back and forth a couple of times...always dead even. I guess thats being even is good considering he's got 140hp and only weighs 2400lbs. But it makes me start to think my KO4 with a pc-16 just isn't going to be enough Unless I can find a way to shave like 500lbs off my car. Not real sure why I posted, just not sure what to do...kind of at a standstill with my turbo situation.

Just save up and get the gt2871r and the tuning. By the time you get the k04 and the stuff for the pc 16 you would only have to spend like $1000 more to get the GT2871r, and that's alot more power.

Only problem with that is that kit is a biotch to get here in Canada, and they pretty much double the price just cuz they can. Might have to look at a t3/t4 setup.

What? You sure you dont have a boost leak or something? That should not have happend. I thought pc16 boosts over 20 psi???
If you are runing a k04 on stock programing, then you will **** your pants when you get the pc16. Its a torque factory and youll be in a totally different class.

OHH!!!...

I see now. LOL Dude when you get the K04 it will turn 150 hp to about what almost 230 hp or so? Maybe 240 with the pc-16 file? THAT WILL BE FUN!!!

oh well thats different... a chip is good enough for most people, a k04 is even better, a BT is a different life style all together.
