    Standard intercoolers?, 100,000km service done?, cooling system in good shape? :zlove:

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    Get it set on a dyno by someone who knows what they're doing and can attest to it being safe.

    The biggest problem you'll have with road tuning is that you'll only see max pressure at the top of fourth gear, and this is way too fast to do on a road,

    The stock fuel system can keep up with 14psi.

    If I'm road tuning I usually shoot for 12psi in 3rd gear.

    Most likely a standard ECU reading that. if you have stock injectors don't go over 12 without a tune. My TT is at 96% injector duty cycle on standard injectors.

    Sorry for the late one guy's, i just got 120k services done month or 2 ago. Upgraded ECU, pod fliter, running 98 octane fuel... I am about to upgrade the intercoolers. To run 14psi daily what else would i need to upgrade?. Thanks for the help every one!

    If you just want to max the stock setup put a decent manual boost controller in and run it around 14psi.

    "upgraded ECU" doesn't tell much, all it means is the mapping is different from standard. Its all in what tune is on it man, i had an "upgraded ecu" in my TT too, not safe for over 9psi.

    Lol yeah upgraded ECU just means you should leave the boost standard... or better yet just run straight to the gates...

    I think you mean the stock fuel "maps" rob, the system itself can handle more than 14psi with a remap.
