    What did you do to your MKIV today?

    Nah, I may be confused in the first place. 😝 So, I dont have passengers except on very rare occasions so i dont recall if it had the occupancy sensor. What does the "PolyContact" sensor that is wired up to the buckle latch do?

    No "chooo" sound from turbo, ALH engine

    My understanding is that it is "Turbine Chop" NOT Compressor Surge. I personally feel it is NOT harmful. Reason being, my car was straight piped for 150K+ miles, the ORIGINAL turbo went out at 327K miles. 150K of those were tuned and driven hard where nearly every shift provided the "bov"...
