is you car faster than a vr6?

[ricas77]

@79TransAm78 I would think it would be faster than a stock VR6, however, I have not ever raced one.

@Clownfeet26s I didn't need a manual boost controller to fix it. I just tweaked it with v-Tune and it runs fine now. I need to make a new vid to show it.

damn... you must be really angry after spending your money on the manifold and then having to remove it...

[ricas77]

@josh182389 I can't say I was happy. We actually broke one of the bolts inside the turbo. That made it 100x worst.

[josh182389]

@ricas77 that really sucks, hope your car's running fine by now. Anyway, I'm planning to upgrade my 2004 jetta's ko3 to a k04-001 kit since I really don't need all the extra power a bigger turbo gives. Do you think it's worth spending the money on the kit or it might be better to just maximize the k03s potential?

[ricas77]

@josh182389 I would say it's worth going with a kit.

Just a chip alone makes the 1.8t faster than vr6

Did you try a different n75 valve? It is supposed to help with those spikes.
