What really sucks is on my final testing days I had a totally clogged air filter which I didn't know until I switched to the 7163 but Soundjunky has my old turbo and I'm tuning him so I do still have a way to keep track of my old setup!

please excuse my intrusion;
But isn't any more than a bar3 overkill?
Who is really going to be exceeding 30psi?
(iirc our bar3 maps are good for 30 or maybe 31 psi, as opposed to the actual bar3 rating of 29)
From my quick search, bar4 is good for 43.5 & bar5 is good for 58.0 - I would think that our engines would need to run head studs, trick head gaskets, and be o-ringed to run anywhere near bar5 pressures... but that doesn't even touch on the suspected issues with our camshaft geometry & increased boost pressure...

I have a 2010 LNF with 121000 miles. Mods include:
forge recirc diverter valve (yellow spring)
K&N typhoon intake
ZZP upper charge piping
MPx 3" catless downpipe
hurst short throw shifter.
HP tuned
through the winter i plan on upgrading my clutch from stock, as well as a Tr8 intercooler as they are fairly cheap and have good reviews. if i were to go k04ftw would everything be reliable under a reliable tune?

Regaurdless, it all comes down to the end tuner.
I hear KM043 does remote tuning if you have HPT.
