(keep in mind its a daily driver so i dont wanna be replacing stuff)

It wasnt implied that you were gettin a boost controller Your car will run fine @ 1.0, Ive been boostin 1.2 on my motor now for over a year and my friends been doin it for like 2 and neither of us has had any trouble. Worst thing thats gonna happen is your gonna blow off some intercooler piping.

Gears go by quick running 10+psi on a stock KA.... it's like... blink and you're doing 100.

Right now i have a T04E N trim, but its WAY too small and its upping my exhaust temp and restricting flow etc...
I need an O trim. Anybody got an O trim?
