Not sure about the wiring part, but hows the boost valve? Have heard nightmare stories so haven't fitted one to mine. How much difference has it made and which make is it?

sorry i meant boost gauge!!! the boost gauge is good and works well, i thought that the maximum boost for the turbo on my a3 was about 4psi but mine goes up to 8psi, boost valve is next, will tell you what its like after its fitted, what did you hear was wrong with them?

From what i've read it shouldn't be any probs if you've got a boost gauge.

If you wind up the pressure too far the ecu goes into limp mode!!

Think 12-14psi is tops but DON'T take that as gospel!!

Good luck...
