i was just curious. is there any way to get my k04 to hold 20 psi instead of 16? gotta be safely tho, no just throwin a mbc under the hood. like is there a diode mod i could do or lemmi or sumthin? i really want to get the most out of my k04 but don't wana spend 700 bucks on pc-16, since i have BT plans

RE: curious
you should be able to take your car to the place where you got your tunning and have them turn it up........ i would think
since you can have them turn it down
and i have a feeling when you sell that k04 it will sell fast

RE: curious
a ebc will allow you to hold boost longer, but your not going to hold 20+ psi on a ko4 since its mainly a spike and taper turbo. The only way to really make it HOLD 20+ psi is to have less displancement. If the car was 1.4L instead, it wouldnt spool as fast, but would hold boost better.

RE: curious
an ebc won't allow me to crank up the boost safely tho right? im just looking for ways to get a little more power out of my k04 before going BT. any way to do that cincy? im already adding w/m and finally putting my fmic on.

RE: curious
why wouldnt a ebc let you up the boost saftly? You can set it to whatever you want and then it will hold the pressure longer than any other device you can buy. But fmic and maybe even w/m should of been installed a LONG time ago.

RE: curious
i have no experience with ebc's so i didn't know. so i can get an ebc and crank up the boost a few psi and be completely safe? i thought i also had to adjust fuel and timing, or does an ebc do that? and yeah i know about the fmic and/or meth. but the clutch took priority, and that took all the extra money i had.

RE: curious
the ebc will be just like a mbc but use selinods which works 10x better and will hold boost longer. Running a few more psi shouldnt need much in the way of tuning. But 22-23psi is still about tops i would try to push out of a stock turbo (yes, its still basically a stock turbo, if you think otherwise, run 26psi daily on a ko3s)
