Yea its efficient and reliable up to about 24 psi. That is-Spikes up to 24 psi and about a steady 20-22psi . Youd have to use a mbc to get any higher than a steady20 psi though cuz no k03 chip will give any more than that. Much higher and you risk running lean and or killing the turbo in the long run.... Or youjust go into limp mode all the time if you are 2000+. K03's may be one of the smallest turbo's in the world, but they are capable of more than youd think just by looking at it (in the palm of your hand.) Ive been boosting 20 psi for about 15k miles with no turbo issues, and i drive like an ******* 80% of the time.

BadLuckAudi? Any thoughts on this?
