Lost performance has returned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: 28 March 2011, 20:19 »

Here's one for you Nick,for a while now(since well before inter2010) my car wasn't quite making the boost as it should and as you know the car failed to deliver on the rolling road day last year,the actuator being weak was the prime suspect.Well..............since going to work on Saturday something's changed :laugh:

The car now boosts a mighty 21psi in any gear,it's awesome,it feels just like the first day i came down for stage2.Any idea what could have caused the missing performance to return?

just as long as the turbo housings are fine, then cr turbo's are good. problems have come about if the housings have been cracked and they have replaced with no gen housings.

Ask for the rs6 k04 internals, good for 260+ bhp.
