Installed the K04 today GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS
Okay so I got my K04 intalled today and I have 2 good news and 2 bad news. First good the KO4 went in without a hitch and sounds like a fricken super duty turbo diesel (I LOVE IT) First bad news, GIAC has never written a K04 file for my particu;ar year tip A4. Good news # 2 all my mods and ecu information were given to GIAC and 2 GIAC programmers are gonna make me a custom K04, I'm calling it the NuYorka file haha. The file will be completely custom to me based on my mods and data extracted frommy ECU. Bad new # 2 I cant boost high till monday which is when my custom flash will be done. That means keeping it under 2000 rpm when I have just installed something whos sole purpose in life is to go fast. I t seems now that I cant race all the civics, integras and everything I look for are out in record #'s. Figures. Anyway I'll keep you guys posted on my progress and will do a K04 video on monday after my NuYorka file goes in. By the way I accidentally hit 3K rpm on one street and holy crap did my car jump. Monday cant come soon enough.

so...why can't you go over 2k rpm??? you can run a 1.8T on stock tuning with a ko4 no problem. you just don't get any real gains until you bump up the boost with the chip. and why is your car different for any other b5 a4, the ko4 file should cover everything up to the 170hp engine.
just realized you already have a chip...guessing thats why you don't want to hit boost. granted you wouldn't run lean until higher rpms then 2k, but better to play it safe.
