No offense audihere, but i would seriosly look for another tuner. Upsolute sucks. Yeah, pc-16 and j31 are about the same, j31 runs more boost, pc-16 runs advanceing timeing. Both 13s capable.

 

13 capable is very good. I think I'll go with the awe ko4 kit and upgrade from that.

 

the what other ones out there are good besides the obvious dahlback even know for 800 and free upgrades sounds pretty nice considering i have a mod problem and like to do new things constantly so i know ill be upgrading the k04 soon. im just trying to lay the best hp and times with a k04. ill keep the turbo till my goal is reached then i think im gonna go with that k16 ur talkin about if it doesnt require too much trouble mounting it.

 

It will dude,the k16 is a big turbo, Im pretty sure it took dave thousands to get it right. What kind of racing do u do?Do know the gt28rs only run low to mid 13s? Dave was running lows 13s with his ko4, ko4 has potential, just need some help with other mods to break in mid 13s.

 

i have no doubt in my mind that the k04 runs 13 but some people find that hard to believe...id like to run a flat 13....that would be sweet. doubt it would happen but who knows

 

Im hoping for a 13.5 when im done with this thing.

 

It all comes down to what kind of racing you want to do. The atp eliminator turbos are a good route if you want the low end spool. If you are looking for flat drag racing, then go with a t3/t4 and sacrafice that low end. Those turbos will suck for auto-x but on the track they are the only way to go. Look at hondas, 500 whp is common place with them.

Is there someone that will socket ecu's and sells the software to tune it? I dont trust anyone to tune my car but myself. Sending someone mods and afr's, and letting them guesstimate a tune is a crap shoot to me. Id rather be on the dyno and make the changes and see the results for myself. A guy I work with made 295 (1.8t) with revo software doing that and his car detonates like a SOB. he swears its an exhaust rattle but whatever....

Thanks guys,
Mark

 

My question about the K04 is what's t he max safe PSI it's capable of?

 

my best guess is around 20 psi as it may be able to hold boost....but im just guessing, anybody confirm/deny? i'd like to know this as well.

 

i have an 01 a4 with a k04 setup running dahlback software on it. im holding 24 psi easy.
and i have yet to do a fmic hopefuly that will be this summer.
