Terry,

I've personally run a software 99,9% identical to the "SQR Stage 4" in my car, and I was made very aware of the EGT's produced by it. More than 20 sec of WOT will definetely push EGT's WAY beyond what's healthy for the stock turbo. Also, be aware that the boost levels will (eventually) make the IC leak. It's simply too high for what the stock hardware can take.

Have you reinforced your clutch? If not, be prepared to do so.

I'm not saying it's a bad software, because it's not. It's as good as can be with stock hardware. But it simply takes away ALL safety margins and runs very close to total meltdown. I later upgraded my 9000 Aero to a MapTun stage 4, which involves upgrading the stock hardware items that restrict power output.

Best regards,

Karl
