I got the valve from PES Tuning (http://www.pes-tuning.com) which is the same as the TurboXS diverter valve, I believe. I had mine for about 100,000 miles, in...
There is NO dependable "OE" replacement!!!! They are ALL made out of plastic. You have to purchase an aftermarket unit from someone. Even the VW techs...
I recently found a mod friendly mech at a vw dealer, which I consider a miracle. What other reasonable (i.e., excluding $3,000 turbo kits!) mods in addition...
I was thinking of some brie, fruit and crackers. I don't' think that will be spicy enough, but some nice locks with a spicy sauce would be excellent. Let's...
Hello Val, I, for one, think this query is very legit. I am somebody that wants to do some mild to medium spicy mods too, and I'd like to know what other VW...

this solely depends on how you run the car... the 10w60 is better for hard use during summer, and the 0w50 is better for hard starts during winter... 5w30 is...
Maybe if you're racing or driving at extended high boost, high rpms then 5w30 can break down. But for normal spirited driving it is perfectly fine. In my GTI...
