The q-loader is an alligator product. I don't think you can use it with a A3/B4 though. I just got a alligator tune for my truck(AHU). I told him I wanted 22psi ish for boost and to electronically delete the egr. It works great so far, its exactly what I asked for. I couldn't get ahold of rocketchip so the choice was simple.
Before the chip I ran two boost controllers, one for the turbo and one to make sure it got no more than 14-15psi. This worked fine for over a year with no limp issues. My truck would hit limp constantly before I added the boost controllers.

I'll have reaction soon I hope regarding T3/K24 on a modified mTDI setup. I'll be running a stock T3 from a IDI TD on the mTDI I'm building for my B3 Passat Wagon. We'll see how it does.

I could comment on the t3 I'm running on the mk1's mTDI motor...but thats another story as the CR is lowered on the car, full fueling and R520's...
Its larger on the turbine side than the stock T3 from the IDI TD cars. .48 vs. the .38 of the t3 found in the earlier cars. I don't mind the lag on the mk1...its a trade off for the power that I receive and with the way I have the motor and pump setup, its not a huge difference (from what I'm seeing described here).

mummn not sure who to try to use JEff at rocket chip isn't answering any emails so far.. I haven't received the turbo rebuild kit in the mail yet from Alamo. The old posts Jake had regarding rebuilding the turbos have no pictures any more . Does any one have the instructions jake used to send out with the kits? I would like to have this done before aug if possible. My techtonics stainless exhaust arrived and I have to decide if I will run the stock turbo for a while or just do the k24 and new down pipe now etc...
Thanks
