Hi All,
I have a MK6 GTI with a HPA K04 kit with GIAC H/O tune, Unitronic FMIC, CTS Turbo turbo-back exhaust, and intake.
Initially when I got the K04 kit the boost was topping out at 16psi, which led me to believe that their was an issue with the crack pressure setting of the wastegate. Sure enough we adjusted the wastegate and I'm now spiking at 22psi and settling 19-17psi.
I went and had my car dynoed and I am a little dissapointed. I have attached the dyno for reference. I dynoed at 274whp and 303wtq. I was really wanting to be around the 300whp mark with my setup, and it seems that it should be obtainable with my setup.
My concern is this, are my boost levels are where they're supposed to be with the GIAC H/O file? Could I adjust the wastegate a tad more to get a little more boost out of it? Anyone with a HPA K04 kit able to reach that sexy 300whp mark? Has anyone had a similar experience with HPA's K04 and their wastegate not being set to the right cracking pressure?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
