Update on my engine problem:

First a quick history: Engine replaced because of considerable oil consumption; new engine pulled a week later because "O" rings spewed oil in engine compartment etc. After "O" rings replaced and I was able to put on a few miles - could only get .6 turbo boost.

Dealer Performed DME software re-code. Now I am back to getting .9 boost and the car is finally running well. New engine burning oil but not at the rate my first engine did....

I AM SOOOO HAPPY it is running good now!!!!

Nice to hear. Your car is rather new, right? How many miles before you got a new motor?

On a side note...do you spend more time here or in the Roadflea ///MLounge? As funny as that place can get, sometimes it's nice to have a bit of change of scenery. I've started spending more and more time here on 6spd.

I had about 7000 miles before the engine change. I have about 9000 now. It is only 7 months old - but I have enjoyed most of the miles!! HAHAHA

I have a lot of fun at the MLounge. It is always good for laughs.
