For the last few years I suffered through a problem with my Jetta TDI. Whenever it was under heavy load like accelerating up a steep hill or towing a trailer the turbo would shut off. I always said once I had a garage I would tear it apart and figure it out. I got the garage in January and finally got around to my turbo yesterday. Thanks to RobMcC and a new variable vane actuator I have my turbo back! Jenny the Jetta has her mojo! Ill post some garage porn pics in the morning.

Yesterday I had a left tailpipe put on. I have custom dual exhaust. We had ripped it off at 2010(?) Fox run and I had jury rigged it after that for inspection but it was mostly off. At that time we had also drove the exhaust sideways into the gas tank and made a hole (which has a BOTTOM skid plate), which ended our run for the day, and we also pretzeled the tie rod. We trailered it home!

Finally found the clank coming from the front end; it's been driving me nuts for weeks! Loose front sway bar end link; couple turns and fixed! And before you post 97 cherokee...(based on your sig), I know in your mind I'm a lesser man for keeping the front one, but I do tow shi+ ;)
