The Touareg's are very nice that is for sure. They're expensive but not really much more than same year tahoe; with same miles. There's a 2012 touareg with 20k miles for $43k; 2012 tahoe with 33k miles for $38k.

Both are more money than I am willing to spend.

That new turbo looks good and I'm sure you're wanting to get it installed.

I also agree with your last post with american companies losing sight of some things. They need to get it goin again. Some of there stuff is very aged. I would like to see some new stuff come up here soon.

That was wherw i was going with the entire arguement. I dont like companies who sit back and do nothing. If a german car broke more than my american car I would bw happy and accept it because at least they are innovating. The american car most likelu died due to cheap materials and lazy construction.

Last I checked kerma was a deadbeat. Couldve changed now though.

Rocketchip does ring a bell though.

I never used kerma bc all he wanted was for me to buy a bunch of shit that i didnt care to overpay for also he doesnt like competition. I had rocket-chips stage 6 loved it quick car ate alot of vehicles up on the road.:woott:

Got the Jetta in the shop finally. Got the turbo off, not too bad. Much faster than a dmax.

I have a lot of other issues to track down while its in here. Got some new summer tires for it on the way too. Winter tires didnt see much use again haha.

i have an 02 tdi just like yours, had a nice run in with a deer last night. While i am fixing the front end might as well do some mods, let me know how you like the turbo.

Kinda nice working on this thing. The way the assemble everything and the materials they use makes it easy to take apart. Broken every exhaust manifold bolt loose with my 1/4" ratchet.

End of the week probably. I saw 19-20 with my old one.

Put a 17 on my sons TDI and saw about 28psi. ran good with bigger injectors Kerma tuning and a auto with 170k and a ITP valve body. Sold now ,but would work over most cars on a 40-110mph roll.People would just give it a thumbs up after they got beat on by a 4 banger diesel. Not good off the line due to wheelspin.
