[Vwdiesel] Vwdiesel Digest, Vol 43, Issue 2

[David Cook]

Ahh, but I do live in the prairies.  And it was on the
prairies that I was driving whilst thinking this. 
(though there are some hills that, while not terribly
steep are long enough to cause the NA motor to slow a
bit if it isn't properly wound up.)

It was while driving 80 that I was thinking I'd rather
see the RPMs closer to 3000 than 4000.  

Also, I do have a NA motor, but am thinking about
adding a turbo kit to it and just keeping the tuning
to low boost.  Just to help the engine breathe a bit
better.

Finally, it was less not removing the trans than
finding a whole new one.
