Default Typical.. Lamers! mess with the boost get a boost gauge it's simple common sense

Then you can tell if your bypass valves go south... Don't buy the forge valves, too much dough!! Get a boost gauge and spend like $60 total on a pair of Bosch 710N valves.

Default No, Get the Audi 710Ns and spend the rest on a boost gauge. Anything

else is overkill for this combo.
