    Overboost Problems BEW VNT17 Malone stage 4

    Connect your hand vacuum pump to the vacuum reservoir with the car running. How much vacuum is in the system? This will tell you whether you have a vacuum leak which would cause the N75 to overwork itself. However, I've never heard of a vacuum leak causing over-boost before.

    Smyth UTE - the MKIV Jetta/Golf Pickup Conversion kit is HERE!

    The conversion easily fits most humans up to 6'6" comfortably. The seat slides all the way back to the furthest stock position. Still a Jetta!

    Our molder is molding, our aluminum fits perfect and it is being laser cut and CNC bent, and we have shipped some full production kits. I finished the final rev on the metal pieces tonight. The first 5 sets of 0.100 aluminum were roughed up in shipping, but fit nicely when straightened out...

    You must have a crystal ball! :) Yes, they will definitely be replaced with lighter weight versions. They retain some of their teardrop style and utility (48" plywood sheets and other lumber can easily be carried in at least two different configurations). As soon as our metal shop delivers...

    The hitch will require a 3"-4" extension and the roll pan will need a little trimming, but yes hitches should be fine.

    Payload is going up, rust is going down, fit and finish is dramatically improved over the prototypes we shipped. Every task in this business comes down to the 2-3 people who are working here right now. For me this is a lot of 80+ hour weeks! The wait is going to be WORTH IT. The first test...

    Sooo... with the way were are redesigning the metal in the kit, there will be very little welding. I am pretty sure that there will be few visible welds once everything is installed. Lots of precision bending of thicker steel on a very large press brake. Faster, more accurate, and cheaper...
