    Intermittent overboost- chasing that phantom...

    Good thoughts on all fronts. The 2nd google drive video link has actuator movement the first 30 seconds, a gauge with vac testing the next minute. I'm pulling (and holding) 24hg while running. The last 30 seconds is a screen shot of Torque data with some small WOT pulls. The first video...

    Intermittent overboost- chasing that phantom...

    Hey everyone, I’ve got an overboost issue. It’s quasi-intermittent. It’s bad right now, been off and on before, and for 30 minutes last week, it ran like I never knew it could. No rattle, just purr. The revving spooled like the turbo, smooth, consistent, a dream. I didn’t overboost once...

    Can’t shake this shudder! Leaving for Burning Man in 5 days n losing my mind!

    Hey now...good catch! No he did not. At first I thought that might be the issue. My bud said he couldn't fit it back on- not enough room. Then I found this article: http://www.brokevw.com/difftest.html So, I am "fairly" sure they weren't reinstalled, but can't be positive. I don't know...

    Can’t shake this shudder! Leaving for Burning Man in 5 days n losing my mind!

    Hey everyone, I wanted to revisit this thread. The vibration IS in my trans :( A good friend (and good mechanic) had put an LSD and .658 5th gear in for me. Obviously something got missed or done incorrectly. The vibration is only on the driver's side, for whatever reason. And it is...

    Hey Growler, do you still work on TDI's? I live in Kirkersville and could really use some skills eyes. Please let me know! My cell is 614-845-0123. Thanks!

    Definitely appreciate Oilhammer's observation. Tires are Continental DWS- a great tire IMHO. One of the best UTQG ratings out there. But I will double check roundness. His other observation about the diff- it is usually the further from center rotating mass. A diff 5 or 6 in in dia, encased...

    Can’t shake this shudder! Leaving for Burning Man in 5 days n losing my mind!

    I certainly agree, parts cannon is not optimal or efficient. But bushings are cheap, so it couldn't hurt. And sometimes things seem fine, for all intents and purposes should be fine, and yet are not. This would cover any of that random chaos theory lol. Wobble is definitely up front. But...

    Can’t shake this shudder! Leaving for Burning Man in 5 days n losing my mind!

    Sorry taking so long to get back on my own thread- tires are balanced, issue persists. But, I realized there was an element I forgot to add in the initial post. I really hope it helps shed some light.- The wobble is intermittent. It's there more often than not, by far. The onset is around...

    Can’t shake this shudder! Leaving for Burning Man in 5 days n losing my mind!

    Hello friends- I am in desperate need of input/expertise. I leave for Burning Man in a week, driving from Columbus Ohio to the Black Rock Desert of northern Nevada- about 2,500 miles. I have got this stupid vibration, and I’ve thrown the world at it, yet it persists. It’s speed-based, not RPM...

    LexDube, I appreciate your input being added to the context of the conversation. Many others who've sold stuff on the forum, if they are honest, can attest to the many times you get low-balled on your item, and numerous other attempts to beat down your price. Personally, I thought this sale...

    FS: Complete GLI big-brake kit - awesome condition and price!

    Like I said, I did get takers at $125 when I asked, but I still got people who said they would pay $150. Just because someone makes an offer, doesn't mean you have to take it- it's your property- you can choose to take whatever offer you want. Moreover, when I found there were people that were...

    I didn't lower my price. I asked very plainly who was interested at $125- and I did so in basic fact-finding to see where I was at. Did I get plenty of peeps wanting it at $125? Yeah. Did I get PM's from others saying "I'll take these, don't sell them to someone else, I'll give you the...
