I knew a guy that had a big turbo GT Cruiser that would EMBARASS cars of a much higher class. Pure ego crusherThe SRT 4 was with very little mods a 12 second car

The turbo ones used to be dirt cheap, but now I rarely see them and they are spendy. Kinda sucksI knew a guy that had a big turbo GT Cruiser that would EMBARASS cars of a much higher class. Pure ego crusher![]()
Yep, you can say the same for a GTI, but the Neon was also a back-of-the-lot rental turd that after 75k miles felt like it was going to fly apart. A GTI with a quarter million miles on the clock still feels solid and well put together, even if its on its third engine by then, LOL. (I don't think I've ever seen any Neon on the road for that long).The SRT 4 was with very little mods a 12 second car
Volkswagen was actually researching this back when these cars were still new and in warranty. Resulted in a few bent valves and blown turbos. They eventually dropped the cleaning by chemical/fluids and returned to manual removal and cleaning for warranty purposes.I have a hose permanently connected to my intake. When my intake was like that it actually jammed up my anti-shudder valve and I barely got home one day. I ran half gallon of good degreaser through the hose turbo and intercooler all to the intake while running, and then another half a gallon of diluted degreaser in water, very slowly over about 60 miles. My intake passages so clear you could eat off of it. Well except for the oil that keeps accumulating, I really need a oil catch can
Whether you do aerosol cans, chemicals, for a fine mist of water, to the turbo it's all the same, drop that's hitting the impeller spinning at a high rate of speed, so it must be done as little RPM as you can manage say after you're going downhill and coasting. But you need enough engineer pm so the water doesn't just settle in the intercooler, about 2,000 RPM. High speed, downshift, coast for 10 seconds and give it a few pumps of water.Volkswagen was actually researching this back when these cars were still new and in warranty.

No doubt, it's just that it was a quick car for being a factory car that nobody really noticedYep, you can say the same for a GTI, but the Neon was also a back-of-the-lot rental turd that after 75k miles felt like it was going to fly apart.

can confirmI've been told that 14" wheels will fit on a MKIV TDI with stock brakes.
I love 14 inch wheels with big gushy sidewalls, and narrower tread widths being available nets you way better winter tractionWhy would you want smaller instead of larger? It's the soft rubber that adds more to rotational mass than anything
Biy that's a lot of reading. Can you give us the short-short version?Well not today but the other day changed the t4 rotella/engine restore treatment for like 3 quarts of mobil delvac and 2 quarts of quacker state full synth 5w30 due the shear film strength as extolled at the 540 rat oil page. Runs silky smooth and is actually quieter, the t4/engine restore only had 1k miles on it. Odd quacker state doesn't seem to be in the diesel oil biz so I put them there.
Hopefully the link isn't some site forbidden at tdiclub.
You could also disconnect the windshield washer nozzle and run it into the intake. Put the engine on the limiter and pull the trigger on the water. Or if thats a bit to squeamish 3k rpm is fine. Redneck water injection.I once had a car I really didn't care for, but it all sorts of issues and to clean the Catholic converter for emission testing I warmed it up and let it have the garden hose had a fairly steady mist, more like spray, with a bit of throttle it could drink about a liter of water without the engine even cutting out. Clearly you don't want to turn the garden hose on full, and the fine mist you just want enough be very slowly decrease the oil is to residue so it can go where it was supposed to go anyways
Do you happen to know what vehicles came with 14" 5×10̷0̷ with 57.1 CB? I want 14s. Also what size tire do you use?I love 14 inch wheels with big gushy sidewalls, and narrower tread widths being available nets you way better winter traction
too bad they're turbo-rare on the junk pile any more
had a pair of 27" BFGs that I was gonna put on with the aforementioned caravan wheels but they ended up on a lawn tractor when they wouldn't fit
14 is a hard size to find rubber for these days, it’s hard enough finding 15s sometimes.Do you happen to know what vehicles came with 14" 5×10̷0̷ with 57.1 CB? I want 14s. Also what size tire do you use?
I got the same thing. Thought I was special.Luckily cardenas made an account at 1:49AM today to tell me "Good day Mate, you can check with Bonnie Burnett. she has it available, her late husband was a member of this forum you can text her at, (618) 842-8832. And she's parting way with those items." in a private chat about wanting a vacuum pump o-ring.Reported as a scammer.
Not really controversial, anyone that's done any amount of dyno break in, can confirm the rings need dynamic load to break in properly. You can literally watch it on the dyno display. Picks up power, less blow by, better response.Biy that's a lot of reading. Can you give us the short-short version?
If you guys like the oils, read motoman engine break-in procedure. Controversial, but makes tons of sense

same here….. mine was for a PD 150 intake.I got the same thing. Thought I was special.
"57.1cb" doesn't make any sense to me explain furtherDo you happen to know what vehicles came with 14" 5×10̷0̷ with 57.1 CB? I want 14s. Also what size tire do you use?
Center Bore"57.1cb" doesn't make any sense to me explain further
they don't fit over the brakes on an a4 chassis
oh I don't pay much attention to that, if it fits it fits if it doesn't, it gets torched out until it does fitCenter Bore
Oh, I thought you saying confirmed meant it does fit."57.1cb" doesn't make any sense to me explain further

You're even cheaper than I am, if I had the power I would name a National Holiday after youoh I don't pay much attention to that, if it fits it fits if it doesn't, it gets torched out until it does fit
not like it's a dually with flat faced lug nuts where it actually matters
Same, Austinken today? It really is sad.Got another scammer PM on a part I’m looking for……. This is getting ridiculous…this will be the 4 one I got…… all have been reported.
The short ver is he doesn't make it easy for us by making a nice graph of the highest to lowest shear strength of a given oil. That'd be nice, one for gas engines, diesels, and atf. Just search for the oil of choice and read the shear strengthBiy that's a lot of reading. Can you give us the short-short version?
