Be sure to get a new DV, without one you could run into some pretty interesting complications with your new psi!

You're right, I'm an idiot, was thinkin about the 1.8t. Well unless you have a turbo thrown onto your 2.8 :-)

I am not quite bold enough at this point to attempt a 2.8T project. I am going with the SC. I like a whistle rather than a hiss anyways, lol.

Might make your turbo blow out a tad quicker, but usually not a too expensive fix. Finding a used and working k03 turbo isn't that hard, and on the other hand, it gives you a reason to upgrade to ateast a k04 :-)

There is a problem if you were only boosting 5 psi stock. Stock should be 9 or 10 psi. And with my APR program I was peaking at 22psi and holding at 18. No MBC or N75
