The stock turbo can boost 20psi all day long pretty reliably from what i understand... Im sure its not going to last as long as it would with stock ecu/n75 though.. I'll be happy when its k04 time anyway.

sounds great, but Id be worried about burning up the stock turbo.

Do one or so hard pulls up to about 110, get out and look at your turbo. This is if you are chipped, stock boost levels im not sure if it will do it. Make sure its at night, makes you wonder how much longer will it last.

The turbo glows just as bright red when its not chipped and running stock levels, at night time you will almost always see the turbo glow at stock even if you wernt running it hard, its made to withstand alot of heat and isnt gunna eat **** at only 20psi

yeah ive seen the glow. makes you realize how important the cool down is after driving. i wish i knew if it does that with stock boost levels.. Probably not... I mean the chip and n75 have pretty much trippled the stock boost on that puny thing. by the way... damn that n75 is so noticeable!!! Even my wife said its more fun to drive now... This valve has made it even more difficult to not speed.. O and i was on the highway last night and the power is just effortless at 70-80mph!!!! I barely need to press the gas down and its pulling nicely... Launches are so much better now too!!!!! Im gunna take a speedo video this weekend for fun.

The turbo will actually glow without driving it hard... I had the cruise set at about 70 mph (110~ km/h) for about 20 minutes... got off the highway, rolled into a gas station right off of the offramp... and popped the hood. Glowing like a **** :P
EDIT: Is the N75 something BT guys do? Is it necessary? Benificial?

RE: My thoughts on N75 Race Valve
Bt guys dont need an n75 race valve cuz they use a mbc, so it determines the boost not the n75 so they just run the stock m75 so the comp thinks its there, its not nessicary to have but sure makes a difference the power it adds doesnt seem like much but you really do feel that extra 1-2psi of boost, its like re-chipping your car
