Sorry been busy. I lubed the pivot points on the wastegate actuator rod real good with some high temp nickel anti seize and haven't had the issue, knock on wood.

Thanks. Had a big thunderstorm so packing it on for the day but I tried to move the WG actuator rod and it would barely budge so I sprayed some deep creep on the pivot point and it moved easy peezy....the live data said it was at the 74% position. I gently tapped it with a socket wrench and and...

Apologize for the dumb questions but how do I check the turbo boost control?

What should the WG voltage be?

I haven't customized it this is my stock daily driver. I have no problem with buying that I do have an obd11 though

Thanks, I heard that as a possibility. TBH i was thinking about just trying the easy route and replacing the sensor first if it's not too expensive. The car has 34,000 miles on it fwiw

I'm sure this is out here somewhere on the forums but I've recently got an EPC light and I ran an obd11 scan and it came up with the "turbocharger boost control position sensor circuit" fault with the p256300 code. I'm willing to replace the throttle boost position sensor but not sure exactly...

I know they're a real company and I'm not saying it is definitely propaganda but there are a lot of Fanboys who like to go around saying how once you drive a Tesla it ruins your life for everything else. It's pretty common on all kinds of car forums with other brands.

If this is a real post and not just Tesla propaganda I say wait for a real car company to make electric cars , like VW with the MEB platform.

So the "money's not real" ? So pay me a million.

I like the way it looks but the upswept rear door and the sloping roof seems like it would be a lot more claustrophobic in the back. The squared off roof line and bigger glass of the Golf gives better visibility and an airier feeling IMO.

Well you actually have 220 volts coming into the house - two 110 lines= so as far as charging at home you would have 220 volts available.

Nothing wrong having a truck, especially ones that are actually used which it sounds like yours is. I drive a truck at work everyday. I'm referring to a subset who own a truck because of what they believe it says about them. I know guys who work at a local public works department who have...

If I misconstrued I apologise but I was responding to the post where you were talking about supercars and why would " they" allow this performance. Maybe it's not meant this way by you but everytime I hear the term 'tree hugger' used it's meant to be derogatory . Usually it's by guys I know who...

We're already there, cars have had cafe standards for years . There's always a worst case scenario but maybe electric cars are a way to forestall the dystopian vision as they are generally a lot cleaner. Autonomous cars are more likely to kill your fun as why let people drive and thousands die...

Ya I hate trees. Would be much better to go back to the days when rivers caught on fire and our air quality rivaled Shanghais..... I get your point that things can be taken too far but if not wanting my kid to have asthma and being able to breath clean air and take him fishing without wearing a...

I think it has more to do with the big money interests getting their way than with age. Their orange buddy most likely doesn't understand the subject . All they had to do is tell him this is what big business wants and, oh yeah, Obama was for net neutrality and he'll be against it.

I agree . Some people have different resting metabolisms. Two people could each sleep for 8 hours- no calories consumed and no exercise- and have vastly different calories burned. The NIH is having their budget slashed this year.

Beer is good for your soul and as one of my favorites, Ben Franklin, said it's proof God loves us and wants us to be happy.

I'm not fat so not defending myself. Different people have different resting metabolisms. That's why as people get older if they eat the same that gain weight. I knew a guy who ate twice as much as anyone I ever knew and never weighed more than 150 lbs and he didn't work out.
