well its set to run at around 9lbs daily but it was capable of 12 on stock internals safely. According to my local shop its rated for about 15lbs on stock internals but i'm riding around 8-9 lbs for now while we tweak the management for fuel. I'm still running a little to lean. Total cost for my turbo kit, labor and Greddy Evo 2 exahust along without haveing a cat anymore has been about 4k
if you are lucky and the internals hold you can get the 12 psi but the will be just
for doing some drag racing!For daily driving 9psi will be ok!Did you get the greddy e-manange?
But still like it.nice job on getting boosted

so far i'm running fine off the TSI kit components that were included. E-manage may be a option I choose later but so far its running good minus the fine tuning of fuel.One thing I can say is its quick to spool up and has actually scared me on take off a few times LOL

anyone else ran into the fuel management potion on this kit? I'm to lean on the low rpm on take off and still trying to get it tuned to run a little better.
