[Vwdiesel] Need help getting parts from Germany

[James Hansen]

Yeah, you had mentioned this before.  You don't even want to know how much I
had to turn the Jetta td up to make it sing...
Maybe there was some pump work done prior to my owning it, or just warranty
cost avoidance on vw's part, I dunno. It was a real dog when I first got it,
couldn't believe it was a turbo at first, it drove similarly to my old Jetta
NA.

But yeah, it wouldn't hurt to go less per try either.

If I had a handful of mad money, there is a really sweet dual probe isspro
gauge I would like. For the truckie, I'm going to put the probes in off my
sled.  It's a two probe single gauge unit, meant of two cylinder sleds, in
this case a hopped up 500cc polaris.  I figure one pre and one post should
be just about right.  If I decide to take the sled out of retirement, I will
get a digital for it, there's too much vibration to read the needles on the
gauge properly at full rock'n'roll anyway.
