Mad as a hatter, i've had to go from knowing nothing about the n54, to struggling to know enough D:

I thought td03 were stock size? Td04 is what vargas s2 are suppose to be (and i thought RB's?).. Correct me if i'm wrong


I'd lower it for both safety/ease of tuning, and peak power potential (bigger giggle-factor lol).. So much easier to turn everything up as high as it can go and never worry about detonation.. I am worried about how it will feel off boost/low compared to the n52 with it's 10.7.. I know i won't care in the end though lol

Raising it sounds nice for off boost and response, but it a much bigger headache for tuning... Number one goal being reliability, i think i'll stick to 10.2 or lower lol

I'll be wanting e85 an possibly a flex fuel sensor if the jb4 gets the ability to (unless i can afford a proefi an put it in one day haha), as that's likely what i'll use to start with simply for convenience
