Default Yes...
but if you haven't kept up on the A4 forum, that is almost what all turbo topics have turned into.
Audi on brother!

Default Sorry, I forgot to put the 3+ after the stage part in my reply.
That is what I meant.

Default That is why it is good to add a FMIC to a turbo setup if you plan on pushing it hard.
That is why I added mine to my K03 and then I will change my turbo to a bigger one and push that hard too.

Yep, agree. FMIC only helps. (usually - as long as it won't create a pressure drop).

Kind of like how some people say I run 23psi, when in fact I only run 18-20psi.

Default Well no matter how you do it the pressure will drop unless you use a setup that can make up for the
drop in temp which causes the drop in pressure. I only get 1psi drop with my EVO fmic and get 70 deg temps at WOT.
