mods to run the car properly on a Stage I SW. One is a 5 bar FPR (Fuel pressure regulator) and another is a MBC (Manual boost controller) to prevent overboost. You can however, bypass the MBC by upgrading your SW to a Stage 3- sw. But I am not sure if MTM has a 3- program. Plus, if your car is a 2000 or 2001, you may also need a new MAF (Needs to upgrade to a Hitachi MAF).

You can search the archives for more detailed informations on all of these.

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 (149 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 (189 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 (142 views)

There are lots of people here running an MBC with great success - B5QShip 2006-07-05 12:30:33 (165 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 (223 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 (142 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 (185 views)

Search the forums, the N75 in stock form controls boost, when you run *EDITED* - JBear::FATS 2006-07-05 10:56:41 (234 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 (217 views)

Fair enough. Then what's the real answer? please enlighten me further on this topic. - Tifosi 2006-07-05 16:07:03 (132 views)

Running K04s with Stage 1 software intended for K03s is perfectly fine. In fact - B5QShip 2006-07-05 16:42:29 (1067 views)

I kind of see your point. However.... - B5QShip 2006-07-06 08:45:55 (183 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 (193 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 (172 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 (151 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 (178 views)
