Great GTG! Thanks everyone for showing up and special thanks to Tony for letting us use his garage. Looks like we are getting dedicated TDI shop in Vancouver. At least I will do my timing belt change there soon.

Wow, that's great. I'll be talking to you coolsio.

Great, sign me in! But no word yet about timing belt change! Any toughs, ideas, suggestions? I don't want to go to dealership. Can I ask them to advance my timing??? Golf GLS Y2K, Black UPsolute, 0.205's, piperX, no muffler etc.

And I forgot, they washed my Golf.

Hey Janusz, don’t worry. I did mine last month. It's just opacity test. They will attach tube sensor to exhaust and run car on dino wheels thru the gears, and you will get computer result printed. That's it. Maximum is opacity something like 23. I had 16. Make sure you have good fuel in your...

Valois, good to see your posts again. Question: what ever happened wit UPsolute update for 0.205 injectors. Is it available yet? Golf GLS Y2K, 5speed UPsolute, 0.205's, PiperX etc.

I Think Different!

Re: Who\'s from Vancouver here??? Me too! Golf GLS, Y2K ,Black UPsolute, 0.205's, PiperX Pan.

GoFaster, Will this mechanical boost pressure controller ( Dawes, right?) work on my Y2K Golf (no wastegate!). I have boost pressure spikes up to 25 psi !!! Trying to aid that as much as I can but sometimes goes up. I have 0.250' injectors and UPsolute. Since long lasting "slow down shudder"...

Count on me!

Thanks Penny and Brian for awesome pics (and fast developing service too). Thanks everyone for a fabulous day! Dan, I hope your VAG-COM is OK. Hope see you all very soon.
