Default How much boost w/ K04's?

I've been running K04/16's for about three months now. I figure the S4 forum is more expereinced with this. I'm wondering if anyone has played around w/ boost & or fuel levels. Or just what everyone finds best. I'm at 21 lbs now but I think I might benefit from less. I think I may be getting some fuel starvation. Any input would help.

You think K04s are big enough to hold 22psi to redline?

Default Strange you mentioned the water injection..

What's the deal with that? I've heard/read all different stuff about it. Also CO2 injection? I'd love to hear what people think. But I was thinking of turning down the boost to say 18 lbs and see if that gets rid of my problem. I get quite a bit of hesitation between shifts.

No hesitation, but I do lose boost in between shifts. I'm trying to take it easy on the car now. =)

I answered you in the other forum. I guess you didn't believe me, though.
