Hi,

1. Upsolute Chip
2. VDO
3. Tee'd off the ECU boost line (IC pipe... my car is an A3)
4. Peak Boost is 20-psi (limited by Dawes Device)
5. Sustained Boost was 16-psi, but I'm bled to 18-psi
6. 5-psi Cruising at 75-mph
7. Bosch Paper Air Filter

Take Care,

1.Are you chipped or stock? Yes and No, I have Upsolute and Wett 1.23 bar and std programs but I'm using stock currently

2.What brand of gauge do you have? Had a VDO, getting a Autometer Cobalt Blue soon.

3.Where is it tapped into the intake? (ie-piping or intake manifold) Now I'm Utilizing Dieslegeek IC pipe with tap built into it but I also tapped into stock IC pipe on long flat side and it produced good measures just a bit more work to get hooked up versus D'Geek set up.

4.Peak spike boost in PSI? Stock 17 psi, 205 injectors 24 psi, Wett 1.23 with 205's 27 psi, Upsolute with 205's 27 psi, std Wett program with 205's 24 psi

5.Leveled off boost in PSI? Upsolute 18PSI, Wett 15psi using a Dawe's device.

6.Highway cruising boost level ground at 70-75 MPH? 2-3 psi
(who drive's 75 mph??)

Other mods are race pipe, no cat, high flow muffler, heat wrap on the down pipe, heat wrap on the upper portion of the exhaust manifold to prevent heat soak into the intake mainfold, OldMan intake that is also heatwrapped to prevent heat soak.

Yes the car spikes at 29psi I've got a standby pd150 turbo.
