I hate it when that happens. Install an A-4 and be done with it.

Tom, if you're going TT then you'll need a place to dump your SC junk. I'll donate my garage for you.

I sold it Red.
With the money it would have cost to upgrade my belt, bracket, and intercooler to get the boost I wanted, I just added that to the money I got for the s/c and got the twins.

12 lb springs in the wastegates for low boost.
