Why do you think I have REVO software now though? Partial throttle was ridiculously choppy with the boostvalve and 4.3v diode.
The rolleyes wasn't meant for you Adam. And 20psi on a turbo that was never meant to see that boost level could be considered overboost. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, but it will kill it eventually. What were you holding at with your boostvalve/diode setup?

Because at some point in time you have to do research for yourself instead of listening to opinions or false adverts.

Doing your own research is all well and good, but where is one supposed to research parts? On the manufacturers website where they'll be told that said part is the greatest? It's boards like this that people need to use for this sort of research. If this thread gets to 10 pages and the guy gets what he wants and is happy, then so be it.

Im bored so i guess i will keep going. My last post just said false advertising by manufacturers is not what u want to go by. There are 2 forums out there.
I think one was sport compact racing network club 1.8t forums and vw vortex. That is where he will find the answers he needs. I spent about 2 hours a day on those boards for about a week and learned everything i needed to know about bolt ons for the 1.8t. My point is this thread was beggining to be battle of opinions. So i was just saying that it was getting to a point where it was worthless. I gave way more info than most would on any board. You board or something? And one more thing, if somebody doesnt have the common sense to search the internet for car info then they need to take up walking.

I always wonder about those N75 vavles. One valve will solve problems on one car, but when you install it on the next car, it does nothing. There are some weird quirks when it comes to vw electronics.
