overboosting? apr k04 turbo
hello everyone,
I have a apr k04 turbo set-up, I use to boost on 18-20 psi running strong. I bought a new apr turbo inlet hose (intake), and Samco turbo hose (3 pieces). With all that added im pushing 20-25 psi running slow. I know its not good, I spiked and went to stock mode. I dont want to keep doing that and have the potential of destroying the turbo. What can I do to fix this problem? Boost control? retuned? vagcom? experts plese help! thanks
Richard

RE: overboosting? apr k04 turbo
Well if you posted in the A4 section like i think you have, you would of had a response in no time. This forums is mainly for those that dont have a turbo stock and are adding one. Also this forum is rarely visited by the people that would answer your question so stop bitching.
To limit the spiking, get a boost controller. A bleed style mbc would be best.
BTW, mid 20's is where these stupid tuners put the ko4. Its not making any more power really past 22psi but they still do it
