Default How much boost does the Mika tune run with the ATP GT28RS turbo setup?

I just installed this on my friends 2000 A4.
For now, he's running stock inlet,ATP manifold, ATP GT28RS eliminator, Mika tune with RC 550's, stock cat(test pipe is on its way), 2.5" straight pipe, 710n bpv. Took the car for a drive, definitely feels faster than before but the car is making about 11psi and holds that. Is this normal boost for the Mika tune?

Default time to get a different tune - the mika tune has a tendency to blown engine

or invest in a wideband - and adjust on your own

Default Search on AZ.

Or get in a B5 with Mika tuning yourself and log. It should be obvious.

Default Do those 2 people log with something other than a VAG?

Or do they think it runs good by seat of their pants and dyno? I say other than the VAG because it doesn't gather all the information quick enough like others, etc ECUx or Innovate's data logger.

I remember reading a thread on AZ of a blown engine with Mika tune. The piston was melted...

Default Good discussion. I may end up going GT28RS very, very soon... I think I'll be going with a

Unitronics tune, and get a TP and MAF delete program. What's a good size injector if I want the 350 claimed hp? ATP doesn't list the size that comes in their fueling kit.

Default Uni has a file with a deleted MAF?

You'll have to use the injectors that the Uni file calls for. If they also require a MAF, you need to be running a MAF. You can't just delete that when the tuning bases off it.

I have a brand new PureMS test pipe and nothing to do with it. E-mail me if you're interested.

Default Was thinking more along the lines of their custom 'over the telephone' tunes... I've already got

a TP, but like a tard, I measured wrong and the 3rd bung for the wideband is in the wrong place. -__- Will have to pull it again and get that fixed.

Default Im running mika on a 99.5

its okay...for the price I got it. I've been trying to decide on what to do for a while, new software or custom tune. Im running about 20 lbs or so. Like I said, I would have gone a differnt route had I not gotten the software/injectors/atp 3" turbo inlet for 400$.

Whatever. You still have zero proof of a Mika tuned car running healthy.
