Re: S4/91 200: which is faster?

hmmmm...my boost doesn't taper off - when it's working, it will hold 1.8
clear to redline. You can hear the turbo varying in pitch as the WGFV opens
and closes to maintain max. Are you mixing boost and torque? max torque is
reached at 1950 rpm. I'm sure I have never seen max boost below 2500 rpm.
