Nice!
Ryan, thanks for being the guinea pig! Once I get everything put together I will be in the same boat.
Make sure you contact me when you get your turbo back.

Yes, yes we should. This would really push me to put that K04 back on... since I no longer have much confidence doing pulls against folks @ stage 1.We Jersey guys should meet up for some pulls down in Mexico...I got aSony Action Cam so it can all be documented on video.
Maybe we should round up some friends and cruise down to Mexico for some pulls. Especially non-MK6 GTI friends.I got you, give me some time.
I'm quite surprised there aren't more YouTube videos with the tags APR k04 v3.1 yet lol. I have heard of some nice kill stories but no videos. The GolfMK6 group is deviating from it's history of vids lol.
Anyways, to run good logs with v3.1 k04, do I need to upgrade to APR app? Or will my vag-com give me the information I need. I am barely hitting 25 lbs of boost and would like to try to see where my problem might be. Start with logs to see if I'm hitting requested first. Judging from my gauge and past logs, the two numbers are really close so I think my gauge is fine. I noticed on my 3.0 logs I was barely meeting requested but I had a lot of n75 activity. I might try and do logs tonight and see what I find. Might try a video of the boost gauge during the run also.
Anyone from NJ want to run a B8 S4 APR Stage 2+?
I just ran the numbers and the power/weight ratio is extremely similar. It should be a very interesting pull.
Saweeet. Load up on your best octane (100, w/m, etc.). He will be running 100.
Yes they should be fine. Just be sure to replace them at 15k miles or less for optimal performance, gapped to 0.028". We are pushing things a LOT more than OEM standards so don't expect the longevity to be what it says in the owners manual lol.
Jamie,
Good to know. I'd never heard that K04 owners should be replacing plugs at 15K miles. I had planned to replace mine every 40K. Do you have other maintenance recommendations? Such as how often we should b replacing oil, DSG fluid, fuel filters?

I'm driving 4.5 hours back to my parents down the highway Thursday. I'm going to hook the GoPro up for the whole trip and see what I come across. That trip is usually good for running into something. Hopefully it's something faster than tuned WRX's though. It's getting old putting miles on them every time I'm on the highway :thumbsup:
I've never used the mobile app, but it does log faster and more variables than vag-com. With that being said, vag-com has been the norm for the past 10 years and will definitely get you adequate enough logs to see what's going on without blowing 200 bucks on a "dongle." That's all I use. The N75 should move quite a bit to avoid the spike below 4k, but the part to look into is the duty cycle. If you aren't meeting requested boost and the duty cycle is pegged or really high that is a clear indication that you have a boost leak somewhere. Looking at this after 4k would probably give you the best results.
Make sure you contact me when you get your turbo back.
