Would the diode mod work on my 2000 A6 2.7t?

finally installed my podi and boost controller set at 11-13 psi spike and hold about 10psi. It runs a little stronger but i cannot wait to get this diode soldered in. Until then will i need to add fueling or timing?

cincytt how or what do i need to do to get rid of the blow through dv set-up cause honestly i hate it, not to mention it put unneeded stress on the turbo causing compressor surgeand makes them **** long before there due, and i say this cause i have actually put a k03s turbo on a honda and have over 180k on the snail with no issues at all, but hear about some of them dyingway to soon in life, so i guess what im getting at is can it be change with out a ton of money and not getting a cel or unliked drivability issues

You will be fine with no adjustment up to 18psi. After that you should check vag logs and add fuel if needed

The turbos die becuase of not letting them cool, over boost them, or some other strange mishap like wastegate nut comes loose or something gets sucked into the intake. They are great turbos and will easily last over 100k miles if taken car of. The dv system has nothing to do with it, they flow enough as is

I seriously have no idea what you are talking about. either be clearer or i can not help you. The stock system/design works fine for the stock turbo.
