i found that with the vitesse stage 3 i have i would start to get pinging at 1.8 bar, which is 26psi. that was on pump fuel. but for everyday i ran the car at 22psi.

Since i am keeping the fuchs, the max i can go for is 245/40 in the rear, hence anything over 330whp would probably just make my tires spin in all three gears, and the weather here is dry, you cannot get as dry as here as anywhere else
I believe tires make a difference, what where you running?

I'm staying at ~18 for my "HI" setting until I at least get a wideband (doing voltage conversions with the narrowband sucks); I'm still on the original head gasket (AFAIK) too which is a bit of a worry.

yeah i know. i just keep turning it up. i knew the engine was coming out so for some mods so i wanted to give it some boost for a while. i did a HG on my car 3 months ago and when i pulled the head off last week i noticed that number 4 cyl down the bottom was soon to fail. the engine will be a 2.7
