So I can run standard K04's with just MTM stg one software?

Thinking of upgrading to K04's in the near future. According to the archives, people stated that you can run K04's with stock or stage one software without problems. I just want a daily driver that works well. Is this correct?

Why not just go with MTM IV. Upgrade the ECU for $60 and get some - Rican_S4 2006-07-05 09:49:06 (282 views)

Hoppen said it's $100 and need 5 Bar FPR - jasaab 2006-07-05 10:22:04 (237 views)

Hoppen isn't always 100% accurate when you call. It turned out to be $68(shipped to upgrade my ECU - Rican_S4 2006-07-05 17:05:17 (151 views)

I think MTM dropped all 5 bar fpr software recently. None of MTM's K04 code uses 5 bar. - Ochlockonee 2006-07-05 11:16:10 (148 views)

That's what I'm on. I've got a homemade MBC parallel'd with the N75 valve w/boost set to ~17psi - Beater 2006-07-05 09:48:44 (205 views)

yes you can - lookaught 2006-07-05 09:31:44 (190 views)

i personaly wouldnt run a MBC, i melted the spring in one and was boosting 30lbs in my old a4 - YFZ450CHUCK 2006-07-05 10:09:03 (196 views)

You didn't have a boost gauge ? - JBear::FATS 2006-07-05 12:44:23 (123 views)

i did but i had to get it home, was being carefull, but it boosted fast, didnt know it - YFZ450CHUCK 2006-07-06 08:34:43 (143 views)

There are lots of people here running an MBC with great success - B5QShip 2006-07-05 12:30:33 (166 views)

WRONG, a manual boost controler will not "prevent" overboost in anyway. - YFZ450CHUCK 2006-07-05 09:51:29 (178 views)

I think you are wrong... MBC precent overboost or boost spike.. but also you can turn up the boost. - 2001stg3s4 2006-07-05 12:52:44 (169 views)

yes it will. - B5QShip 2006-07-05 09:53:24 (187 views)

no, on a manual you can only turn up the boost - YFZ450CHUCK 2006-07-05 09:59:55 (210 views)

There is no nice way to say this so I'll just come right out and say it. - S4mig@PEB tuning 2006-07-05 18:13:18 (225 views)

[golf clap] - LI-S4 2006-07-06 06:12:25 (135 views)

yes it can. swap an MBC for your N75 and I bet you $10 you can turn down boost - B5QShip 2006-07-05 12:32:17 (143 views)

He's talking about running it in parallel with the N75, to prevent spikes etc. - JBear::FATS 2006-07-05 10:23:30 (159 views)

maybe i am not following, please explain how a MBC can help prevent spikes - YFZ450CHUCK 2006-07-05 10:36:18 (186 views)

Search the forums, the N75 in stock form controls boost, when you run *EDITED* - JBear::FATS 2006-07-05 10:56:41 (235 views)

I stand corrected, thank you, i was picturing it on the same lineas the n75 - YFZ450CHUCK 2006-07-06 08:41:51 (132 views)

please don't post info like this if you have no clue what you're talking about - B5QShip 2006-07-05 09:42:06 (218 views)

Fair enough. Then what's the real answer? please enlighten me further on this topic. - Tifosi 2006-07-05 16:07:03 (133 views)

Running K04s with Stage 1 software intended for K03s is perfectly fine. In fact - B5QShip 2006-07-05 16:42:29 (1075 views)

I kind of see your point. However.... - B5QShip 2006-07-06 08:45:55 (186 views)

In a galaxy not too long ago, many Stage III kits just didn't deliver power and drivibility, hence - JBear::FATS 2006-07-05 20:34:57 (196 views)

bullsh1t. you can run stage 1 software w/ k04s only just fine. go back and STFA some more... - Steve Trac 2006-07-05 09:31:01 (173 views)

That's what I have been told and read. If you disagree, then start posting some real answers. - Tifosi 2006-07-05 16:03:50 (152 views)

chill with the attitude. if you post misleading information, you aren't going to get the most - B5QShip 2006-07-05 16:18:56 (179 views)

If that is the case, then I have been mislead. Not just by one but by many. - Tifosi 2006-07-05 16:33:19 (143 views)

For you sir I have written a disseration's worth of info below - B5QShip 2006-07-05 16:44:20 (193 views)

I have to agree with him, this is a complex answer that can vary greatly depending on - JBear::FATS 2006-07-05 17:05:58 (179 views)
