I don't do Any non-acceleration above 2200. I try and get it up to speed like a testosterone addled teenager, and get into whatever gear gets me 2000-ish.

Fwiw, I used to get 47 or so on the highway and 44 mixed driving. Then I turned it up a whole lot:) Now I'm happy to see 44 ever! I do see 40 in the winter time with my crappy commute. This morning for example, I think I hit 10 lights in the 16 mile commute.

I'm over here on short notice with an empty beetle. Heading back West at 430 or so.

Mine eats a little in the blowby, and turbo seals.

5K on the truck with non-synthetic, and 10K with synthetic on the TDI's. Changing the truck and a beetle today

I used to make a horrible mess changing the camry oil, till I figured out to punch a hole in the top of the filter and walk away for a while. I still dump diesel all over the place, Mark.

I love the truck now, but I see a day when an 8 speed auto truck would be nice. It would be a retirement truck. I would not go from a 6 speed manual to any of the 4 speed autos, just NO.

Those oh so smooth moves. you still got it, Mark

I may get Saturday off. Since this is a PD 150 intake, nobody stocks that gasket locally. I will cut a new one. I don't want a whole spare car, but a 2 liter to build up would be great.👨‍🔧

I was wrong again . I need to keep making these bad assumptions, it saves me from grief The race pipe was loose and a couple of bolts missing. Super easy fix, but I will need a new gasket. 25 psi tends to destroy things.

I tried starting a new topic but the internet is too flakey. The beetle is rolling coal like a pro. Low boost and real James Bond smoke. I get 3-5 psi on the gauge, so I doubt anything came off like a pipe connection. I will be pulling codes whii get home.

I'm with ya there!

having a spare vehicle or two takes the sweat off when one does break, just sayin. We have 3 to drive 2, and I will not go lower than that.

Cool Ben !

I'm liking that feature. Always a good time for coffee
