Knock on wood I don't. My torque is not instant like yours. that's what snaps them.

[scavok47]

Yes, yes and yes...tial with 17psi spring.. :)

Im curious as to why you are spiking boost. If im not mistaken, it looks like you are hitting 25psi then dropping down to 22, how is that happening with a externally gated WG?? . Same thing in all gears... wtf?

@vwturbo02

Yea I know, it sucks. I've got a boost leak from my manifold and downpipe. I'm going to be getting a new top mount setup within the next month or so. Should take care of that problem. :)

[scavok47]

No problem! I highly recommend Unitronic for software! Good luck!

Thanks for the comp msaturnio29! As far as suggestions. What are you looking at doing to it? Minor upgrades are going big?

@OBDoregonbuddaily if you're blowing axles with a K04, then they're not OEM, I can guarantee that. Are you getting rebuilts or brand new from VW? If you're getting them from the local parts store, they're Chinese knock-offs. The Chinese do not use the same quality materials that the Germans do with the OEMs. If they are OEM and you are really breaking them, then I highly suggest going with Raxles or DSS uprated replacements. They're not cheap, but are made for up to 500whp or more. Good luck!
