1.0 bar has more boost. some say over .8 bar is inefficient for a stock A4!

Default .8 is more conservative... I wouldn't recommend 1.0 without an exhaust
..although many disagree. I think it comes down personal preference and what you think is acceptable to make the K03 produce.

Im eager for a 1.0bar /exhaust combo on way to a stage 3 kit =)

Go 1 bar, most with .8 regret it and end up upgading eventually. Go hard or go home!

Default It's like stock vs. chipped...
... I had the .8 (Neuspeed) for a few months. I upgraded to GIAC's 1 bar when I got their Tip Chip. The difference is amazing!

What is the difference between a "1 bar" vs ".8" bar chip? Is it the boost? 1 bar = 14 lbs maybe?
