TSI kit owners...or anyone?
Hey I have been running the TSI kit w/ a return fuel system, quite happy, but I was wondering what would be the best Manual/mechanical boost controller to purchase for the kit. I'm only looking to turn up to about 8-9 lbs from the stock 6.5. Any help would be great thanks in advance.

Rep Power: 0 Doesnt your TSI kit come with a ICU?? Or did you get the vafcII? Cuz there is a setting which lets you choose how many lbs to run on the TSI ICU. I have mine set for 2 with the pipe disconnected to the IM for now. (need a new ICU, half of its busted and resets). Yesterday I turned it down to 2 from 7, and it seemed to work. I hope my new ICU comes today, so I can hook it back up and start tuning.

Oh, and it is set for 9lbs stock. at least what I was told, and directions said.
