Lol.......

I asked that very same question about two years ago when I left my VAG platform running a REVO flash at 22 psi on a basically stock GTI.

At that time the N54 platform was just breaking into the 15 psi threshold and waiting to see who would blow up.

In any case.....Shiv is right....you have to learn something about basic engine fundamentals and physics and ask lots of seemingly dumb questions and do a lot of your own datalogging.

It has to make sense on some fundamental level
