Default Got Boost?!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/8358/dsc00006.jpg"></center><p>I'm not saying the K04 is faster than Stage III, but I think alot of you are seriously underestimating it. To end the K04 vs Stage III arguement, I am happily volunteering my car to run ANY DBW stage III in S.Cal. I personally don't care who wins, but I am interested in the REAL difference between the two. Please Email me if you have a stage III and you are in S. Cal.

Default how about torque?!

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/8358/dsc00007.jpg"></center><p>sorry the quality is not that great, but i took this while I was driving. Please people this is not a pissing contest. I'm providing these for people who do not know what kind of boost a K04 will kick out. In this pic I'm at 3200 rpm and I'm already pushing over 20psi (lots of torque) I personally love the huge range of power.

Default Holy .... That is a little closer to 2-BAR than I would like to go with stock engine internals...

You need to change your screen name...

Default It's fine. 1.8 is tough....

My stage 3 is at 20 psi at 3200 also...

Stage 3+ is higher, and no probs there.

Default apples to oranges - you got a FMIC. Need a stage 3 with a similar

setup and equipment list. THEN its turbo vs turbo.

There are too many variances to account for. Where is an out-of-the-box K04 kit to compare to a out-of-the-box Stage 3.

That is the contest.

Default The pic I replied to shows more than 25 PSI.

I know the 1.8T is tough, but 1.75 BAR?

Default eesh. Dunno. I think the Stage 3+ peaks at 28 psi, but levels to 22psi.

could be wrong.

Default Don't know any out-of-the-box K04 set up to run that high psi.

It's NOT in the compressor map sweet spot.
