Howdy, ya'll! Love my Turbo, the difference is phenominal! I have an oil leak to fix, and I'm not getting full boost, but dayam that thing is fast. I also need a cv joint, but I bought the car for $4900, I expected a couple of problems.

Fresno sux so much ass! The town RAN OUT OF AIR CONDITIONERS!!!!!!!!!! Lowe's, Home Depot, OSH, Sears, the local guys, everyone. There's not an a/c to be found in the whole %&*%$^%@$#*$ county! And there won't be any for another week! I'm going to L.A. tomorrow, anyone want to invest in a truckload of window mount ac's? We'd make a killin! I'm gonna clean out my storage and bring the old gal back here (the n/a).

It's gonna be another week before I get dsl, and they don't even have cable internet here yet! It's like i'm back in Arkansas, except it sux. I miss L.A.

Any way, anyone know what could be causing me not to get full boost? I went to the default setting once (1.1 bar), and now it goes to about 1.7/1.8, but it used to go to 2 when I hammered it. When I turn on the a/c, it bogs a little, but it still mostly compensates. It doesn't miss or anyting, I just changed the spark plugs, and the rotor/dist. is fine.

I ate my permanant record, Tom.

the trip odo reset switch is located inconspicuously on the left side of the central vents just to the right of the instruments. I think it's the fourth fin down

Hey, I spotted Todwic!

He was one of the last posters on the 951 BOARD!
I can't beleive we lost him to the turbo purists......
Maybe he will come back to slum occasionally (no offense Ronin) :-)
