what do you mean ? i thought all ko3 held about 11psi at 6k, dont see anything untoward with that , ... by all means if u guys think its unsafe id like to know,

if you mean trouble completely flat out in terms of booting it. it doesnt miss fire flat out at all its perfect, only miss fires and get tht brrr noise when i boot it at low revs and boost has to build up loads

KO3 isn't going to run that level of boost across the range, initial spike maybe.

yeah i know but even spiking at that its life span will be decreasing dramatically i'd guess.

my question is, why is this fella special? sounds like he's running similar spec and same code as plenty of other owners who dont produce these sort of readings

k03 dont hold these levels.. you sure its not a k03s before you had it?

k03 fall on their arse down to 8-10psi

logs would confirm.

its flat out.. ie max'd, nothing more left in it... overspooling..

when it starts to loose boost and become laggier, have a look at the comrpessor blades and see how bent and distorted they have become from overspeeding. (they curl up!)

200g/s is just not a real figure for a k03 I dont think.

do you know your sensor element part number?

Your MAF should be made up of 2 pieces, the housing (big round bit) and the element (bit with the sensor which the plug plugs in to), both parts should have a part numbers on them.
