Has the second turbo been hitting low the whole time you've had it and does it always hit 6-6.5 or does it vary? Yeah that sounds like a lot of oil lol.

We have a friend in Loveland that tunes the Power FC. That's not too far from you, not as far as Denver anyway.

Also we have another friend that lives up there and makes it down this way every now and then, maybe you could drive along with him sometime. He drives a really nice Audi A4 now though, not a Mazda anymore. Actually he's moving soon too I believe, so you better make it quick lol.

The power fc can be put on a s4 t2 right? I was planning on doing it this summer and total goal of 350 400 hp. And that's all the further I'm going with the 7 lol

Banzai Racing makes patch harnesses to work between the PFC and FCs, but I don't remember for sure if it's only certain FCs or all of them.

That almost sounds like the pills in the actuator hoses, but it wouldn't just start doing that unless you swapped the hoses and didn't put pills or the correct size jets in there. And it lets off at 7psi.

How about he drives it out here and we can all take a look at it.


Mine had low boost for a while till I figured out my second turbo was not engaging. The flap in the second turbo Y pipe solenoid wasn't working properly. I took mine out and everything was good and was reaching full boost when I had the twins.

Yeah? Even then I still have this problem of it wanting to run stupid rich at idle. Hunts sometimes 10s-low 11s in the AFRs. Not much fun only getting 150-ish miles per 18 gallons either.... Lol driving it nice the whole time.

Which turbo is the primary and which is the secondary?

That Fc is Mine and i know Kirk and Jenny personally with the Fujiwara tofu shop 86, he was the one who imported my fc for me

So you were at the drift event in early March? And I don't remember, yours is the Red Suns FC right? If so, I saw it there.

Cool, I bought my FD in Littleton back in 2004 when I lived in North Carolina and now I'm back in CO, since 2008.

I found a pretty nice 87 base model w/ no sunroof and 140K in a Loveland dealership and bought it for $2K. The deals are out there, but FCs are rare here.

Yes you can put a Power FC on an S4. I have one in my garage with pretty much what you just described. 350-400 RWHP street car. I'll PM you and we'll get together and chat.
