Car stays behind at KMD...thought I'd need a cab to take me home$$!
No hurry in getting car fixed....
Some folk nibbled at the for sales sign.....but few really have the $$.
Once Danny gets it running I'll need to decide on where to sell. EBay?...hmmm
Price seems to be >=$25K, however, not a big market for 400hp tempermental TT's.
Not feeling too assured by the Dahlback support team (?) nor by the validity of a "reliable 400hp 1.8T VW motor".
So...kids.....keep your poop at a resonable level. You wanna go fast.......buy a bigger motor'd car....(that 3.2 TT looks better and better...just not for me)

Hans...I'm at the end >>
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/45715/rscn0231.jpg"></center><p>They will look at it / fix it. Now, Danny believes the wastegate is bad.
Too many things went unoticed. The biggest...that woo-woo-woo sound I posted months ago as "sounds like the 3 Stooges are under my hood" was not the normal sound of a relocated DV as I was told. The top hose was totally blocked!! (see photo) and that meant flowing back to turbo vs. out exhaust. Would have killed most turbos. Fortunately the KKK16 is tuff. Danny assured me that it was fine upon inspection. How come I see the problem and no one else? That hose, in fact, was melted shut! In fact, I'm not even supposed to be under the hood of thi$ car!
It'll get fix to fall again

kinked at top of DV...been like that ~2-3 months until I noticed it and cut it out>
Probably happened during last check for leak. Jammed up next to firewall...overlooked for months. Didn't fix problem but at least DV is finally functional.........
