Default ATP GTRS w/ included boost controller
I'm thinking about getting this kit. I was wondering if anyone has messed with different boost settings and how do you know what boost setting you're using before you floor it and blow your engine? It claims 0-50psi, do you just turn it up all the way and allow the max psi to go into your engine or what?<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecodetuning.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&amp;p=504&amp;c=88">ATP GTS Kit</a></li></ul>

you start at the low end, measure with a VAG-COM or boost gauge, and work from there

Default How do you know when enough is enough?
Isn't the programming set for a specific boost value?

you need software, not just a turbo.

Why is the GT kit so much less expensive than the APR Stage III products?? Isn't GT better?

Default ATP uses stock manifolds

Default confusion :)
I know the turbo bolts up to the stock manifold where the stage III+ requires the APR custom manifold.

Find the psi that blows up your engine and back off just a bit.
