    Hi Guys

    I've seen some data on the K04 compressor map and various comments on the net that the max pressure for a k04 on a sub 2.5L 4 cylinder engine is around 22psi?

    Is this accurate as I've seen a lot of Cupra R's and Audi S3's running 27psi peak, tapering down to 24-25 pounds at redline!

    Is this safe / wise?

    thanks!

    The K04 will do 1.85 bar (~27psi) only not for a very long time.

    It is better to get the results from ignition and normal (20-21 psi) boost pressure.
    You can expect 375-385 HP if there is enough fuel (hpfp).

    ^^ You can.
    However I do agree with what Chris said from mapping experience.
