I was just going back through some old threads and I've seen people say to check the wastegates (like to tighten them a little). I don't know if you want to do that. It was just a post I saw.

Thanks Powell. Seems like most people say that the wastegate mod is not needed for K16's, but some say it might help. To get your .8 to .9 bar, do you have stock or flashed ECU?

I lived in Houston for 5 years. I completely understand the humidity issue. Shower, towel off, feels like I need to shower again -- walk from parking lot to work, feels like I just took a shower and forgot to dry off

Alpha our boost hose kit comes with all the needed clamps, billet ends & new gaskets. The factory hoses have the propensity to blow off the y-pipe & the IC's. My turbo is only a stg2 and one of the first things I did was replace the hoses, we consider them preventative maintenance but can do 30psi and 1000hp too

Change your DV's at the same time!
