you chip it and start by reading here:

you can't just throw a boost controller on your car and turn it up, "saftely" ask jeff about that.... i think he ran 14 psi and blew his turbo

chip it first or over boosting your turbo will blow it in a very short time.

then be careful if you use a boost controller, manual boost controllers can be tricky and come back and bite you in the a*s if you abuse it even if you chip your a4
