my guage only goes to 20... and it shoots past that...

on a K03 or K03S all 20 psi + of boost (1.3 bar) is going to do is prematurely wear out a turbo!

Even 1.4 bar on an S3 K04 is the maximum effecient boost!

17 psi is at the very, very top of a K03 compressor map.

Here is a thread from 5 years ago where they map a K03 in regard to a 1.8T engine.

If you are making 24+ psi on a K03, check your boost guage / connection / location & make sure its fully accurate

LOL, yeah there's nothing better than a boost gauge that adds 5-10 psi to your readings. Best bang-for-buck boost upgrade ever.

Had a quick read of that thread, seems 24psi is fine on the ko3S but not ko3. (Because it runs a ko4 compressor wheel = ko4 compressor map)
