That would have been me that day in St. Joseph. I was actually running into some problems that day. I was leaking boost in two places, my MAF sensor wasn't reading right, I had continued to be an idiot for about a year and a half and was using a cold air intake. Two days later I bought a new stock airbox. My right headlights, high and low beam were out. I was having a hell of a week with the car with the two day old FMIC install. I hadn't trimmed any of the pipes yet (universal) so my bumper was all kinds of messed up.
The good news is. I have gotten rid of all of the boost leaks, my MAF is reading good again, I got rid of that god awful CAI, I'm doing a Stage 4 Clutch on friday, getting rid of my EGR all together and I am low on smoke.
oh and the bumper is sitting pretty. OMI for next weekend too
I live in St. Joseph. I see your dad's TDI all the time, and wonder if it has anything done to it. Where do you live?
