Just a real quick question. I have a '97 Audi A4 1.8TQM. It has a good amount of upgrades, including neuspeed 1 bar chip, aftermarket exhaust, dual stage boost control, and various other minor engine mods. My question is what is the highest safe levels to run with my dual stage boost control? Example: 14.7 low/ 18 high? Does anybody know ehough to make a knowledge answer? I have a body with a TT with 23 psi, but I know that is kind of crazy. Thanks!

 

I would not tune your K03 turbo to push more than 18psi. Allow peaks of maybe 20, but never hold that high.
Also keep in mind the age of your turbo. It's not a spring chicken anymore. Small hairline cracks will widen with such heat from 18-20 psi.
1 bar is about all you really want to throw at a 97-99.

 

now would that be the same if i have a 97 with a turbo w/ only 5k or so miles? is it the engine or the turbo you dont want over that 20lb limit?

 

and where can i find info/pricing on neuspeed chips?

 

No if your turbo is only 5k old then ur fine.



Ummm neuspeed.com......... dude there is search button

 

By the way... Welcome to the forum JohnBoy1248!

 

the K03 wont do much over 20 psi besides cook..... chances are if you holding boost over 20 psi your turbo is spinning to fast and with the tiny shaft that the K03 has its gonna woble and wear itself out
