Best thing to do for reliability is to turn up the wastegate on the 12T to get around 12psi of boost as that is the safest maximum boost on this engine the approx. max. you will get is 197bhp with maybe an exhaust mod also.

hi.. well i did do that on wastegate.. screw the bolt in the end... and im doing 0.7 bar..( stock was 0.5 bar ) and believe me not close to 197hp.
the test im doing is by reading Maf data ( MAF VALUE : 0.8 = hp ) .. so im getting around 125g/s = 156hp... on GPL.. well far from the 160 g/s on old T4..
maybe im doing something wrong?
