[A4] worn K03 with chip

[Brandon Rogers]

Actually I have Pro-Diag ( The Palm OS based system) and hadn't even thought
of hooking it up.  Good call. duh.  I'll also probably pull the intake apart
one of these days just to take a look-see at the impelller and feel for
play...

But yeah just curious to see what others running higher boost have
experienced now that lots of people have been running higher boost levels
for a few years now....
