The N75/Wastegate duty is what I was refferring too, I also thougt 90's was high but after speaking to Kev he confirmed for the K03 this is normal when running higher boost  :confused:

Yes, higher Boost settings would result in higher duties etc, and this would be "normal" in the sense of what you would expect when running higher boost.

However, I much prefer to maintain more 'headroom' for the sake of longevity/reliability and I am perfectly happy with my car's performance (and handling!!).

the difference between B6 and B9 for example isnt a great deal - just over 2psi. I need some more logs from another K03 to compare.

I dont doubt your happy at all, and I am not trying to convince you otherwise - just trying to get to the bottom of it.

Out of interest did you stick with your original N75 do you know..?

2 psi doesn't seem much but I remember feeling a power difference and my boost gauge's behaviour when running B7 previously.

Did I stick with my original N75? - I don't know. I don't remember what a N75 is.

^^  :laugh: , I know you dont tend to worry about these things.  N75 is more commonly known as the boost valve.

I really could do with a decent VW place (aftermarket) near me - if I had the spare cash I would setup on I tell you!

Do you mean the Diverter Valve? - If so, I have a Forge instead of oem Rev.G.

Nope, its different - controls the boost level.  On the TFSI its actually located next to the turbo, on the 1.8T it was on the TIP so easy to check and change yourself - bad design for a newer engine on VW's part. 

Anyway not too worry :happy2:

@ RR - My car has 11.5cm splitter to floor clearance and ran fine, if that helps?

....I've finally got round to measuring mine and it's 10.2 cm clearance :surprised: :scared: - I'll have to have a word with JKM, I'm sure they'll have had lower cars than mine in the past.
