Default more boost with ac on?

okay, i know what your thinking.. there's no way . i swear ive got more power when i turn my ac on. i konw it sounds contrary to what we all know about the subject. i think audi has a trick of turning up (slightly) the boost, when the ac is on. im not crazy! any of you tech guys have any input on this? once i get my liquidtt i will know for sure cant f'ing wait!

I posted on this same thing a few months back and I actually did have more boost with the AC on and it felt faster

tai, do you have any boost/vac leaks? or a gauge to see if it does effect your psi?

The AC on will put more load on your engine. LOAD = TURBO spool. You do feel additional power, but only because it comes on sooner with the AC on than when the AC is off.

The big picture = less HP.
