I had the race valve and the standard on my car. Once I went gtrs I had the race valve now back to standard. Not much difference. My .02

yea i dunno if there would be much given that Elim setup.. i def can tell the difference in just my k03/apr tuned AEB though.. a few more psi throughout the rpm and gear range and its very smooth and strong and picks up a little bit earlier than it did before and thats the nicest part to me

But that could be butt of the seat feel. Or the fact your old one was dead new ones not?

well between my gauge reading higher psi and the butt dyno, it made a difference. i got my clutch installed wednesday, and drove it til friday with no new N75, and i was boosting the same as i was before the clutch, but it still had a little lag in it, just like my car always has. you need to get past 1/2 throttle for it to get happy.. now with the new N75 race, much less throttle needs to be applied to get the car boost up, it comes on quicker which is really nice to feel, and while its not like my car pulls 10x harder than it did, it just is much smoother and im seeing a few more pounds on average than i was before.. the old N75 was rusty, but she was working fine

glad to hear your happy.... now install a boost controller and you will have a more even build of pressure with less boost spike

well thats whats nice about how my car seems to run, my boost doesnt shoot up and spike then fall, it still comes on gradual just earlier in the pedal.. maybe cause its how i drive, i dont just throw it in gear and mash on the gas, i get the RPM's to 2500-2800 before i get on it and it just comes up levels for a second then falls towards redline.

so hows the run with an MBC and an N75.. i thought you ran your MBC in place of the N75?

Don't know what turbo kraut does, but here's what I do:
VW Overboost Solution kit explained
Essentially running the MBC in parallel with the N75. My boost would probably spike past 30psi if given the chance, so I limit it to 24-25psi with this setup, while still having the advantage of N75 controlled boost.

Right now I'm on n75. Waiting on my mbc. But also debating on running the ebc I have. And when I do I'll be eliminating my n75
