BAHAHAHAHA, that's funny :P. Ain't you a little too young to actually LIKE slowness? :D

What do you need heavy acceleration for anyway ;) Unless your in a Performance vehicle (and no hopped up rabbits dont count).. acceleration is nothing :P

Tyler heard you met my old man :P I conned him to getting it for me lol

Yes I did meet him. It's a good thing I was there because he forgot what o-ring you needed.

I may end up swapping turbos, I'm dreaming of a K14. I haven't even started working on my Golf yet so this Jetta is going to have to last a while longer yet.

compression, glow plugs, and good struts are all the car needs to last ;)

Yep, and if my turbo blows up and causes a runaway we can scratch glowplugs and compression of the list of things that I currently have.

I certainly don't have good struts. I think I have solid rods instead :o

My Dad's golf broke something inside one of the stuts and it was rock hard.

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

I realized tonight that I have my fuel turned down a bit too far. Some jerk that didn't know how to share the road needed a good smoking and I couldn't deliver :(

Turn that thing back up! You KNOW you can make it outrun the 1.9D...............  I see you have some turbos for sale, use one if you're worried about the one that's in the car now.

^^ This guy speaks the truth.

More fuel is on the way, I'm towing tomorrow :o

Which reminds me, I need to put together a roadside turbo delete kit today. Basically something to block the feed line, and 4 liters of oil
