Default that doesn't have anything to do with it for PC-16. not sure about the others

the turbo doesnt work any harder with PC-16...they don't run any more boost than the standard files.

J31 OTOH, I could see it causing it.

but, people who have PC-16 files probably drive their cars alot harder than people with the regular K04 files and I could see that having alot to do with it

Default planning on getting a 2871R elim? or full 2871R?

think 300awhp on the 2871R? doable. safe? that's the question i've been batting around.

i'm gonna do the full GT28RS and aim for around 375chp... the quicker spool will be more beneficial for me

it'll be fun to meet up once our cars are where they're meant to be

my K04's still strong... *knocks on wood*

PC-16 only runs ~2-3 more lbs of boost than APR Stage 1-- it makes its power in timing and fueling.

Give me a ring tomorrow, I'm packing up my huge-*** Budget-rent-a-spictruck and hitting I-40W with the Audi in tow.
