i'm sorry, i should have been more specific.

if you want to up the boost without a tuning solution, you will need a Manual Boost Controller and a Fuel Cut Defender.

Your asking for a whole lotta trouble when you start messing with the waste gate for 1 to 2 lbs of boost! Its not worth the trouble, I would do an intake downpipe and exhaust and there you go, instant boost.

to be honest ....

be smart ... go with a tuning solution. Nitrous, upping boost, etccc = Disaster without a good tuning solution.

CP-E claims 30whp/40ftlbs from their CBE...that's exaggerated, right? ^^;

I think that's with the DP too.

man...i think you're right, cause i just re-read, and they specifically switch to "TURBO back" when talking about the dyno gains...as opposed to "cat back", which is what they're selling on that page...

When I had my MKV GTI some guys had tried a wastegate fix to try and get more boost, guess what he got, a blown turbo. On a turbo car unless you are willing to deal with the consequences of a excess pressure I would leave everything alone with the exception of letting it breath better with an intake and downpipe.

I am sure that is grounds for fire with alot of people here, but for the longevity of the car would not mess with the waste gate. I would not even mess with the ECU, most of the bypass valves and diverter valves on the car are rated with a certain spring load that when exceeded will cause boost leaks.

Mess with the waste gate when you have a Big turbo upgrade, but till then leave it alone!
