    Couple issues

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Alright these problems have to be solved soon i'm tired of this car already!

    -MPG average meter resets after a couple hours of it sitting when i turn it on and start to drive it all the sudden says 0.0MPG and then starts jumping, happened after i changed my battery!

    -I feel a lot of vibration through the floor and the pedals and the steering wheel, been since i got the car, and it's not from the exhaust, it's driving me insane!

    -i get a max of 17 VAC is this normal? and my boost only spikes 19 and holds like 15! and if in 5th gear i start to pull the turbo feels like it's warming up and kinda surges on and off a bit until it starts moving constantly is this normal???

    -And for my K04 setup i plan on completely redoing my boost and VAC lines, and i want tougher tubing for it! and i think it's time to do this so any recommendations for tubing??

    If you look in one of the corners of the display while the MPG meter is up it will have a little 1 or 2 in the display. 1 is the current "temporary" meter. 2 is the "permanent" meter. The display in 1 will reset after I think 2 hours just like the trip timer. The display in 2 will reset rarely. I had mine reset when the dealer did maintenance long ago, but I have not checked it since I started doing the maintenance in my car. You can switch between display 1 and 2 by using the button on the bottom of the windshield washer stalk.

    -I feel a lot of vibration through the floor and the pedals and the steering wheel, been since i got the car, and it's not from the exhaust, it's driving me insane!
    Snub mount not seated correctly? Bad motor/trans mounts? Out of balance tire/wheel combo? Not really a lot of info to go on from your description.

    -i get a max of 17 VAC is this normal? and my boost only spikes 19 and holds like 15! and if in 5th gear i start to pull the turbo feels like it's warming up and kinda surges on and off a bit until it starts moving constantly is this normal???
    Maybe a bad DV? Or one that is on its way out.

    Vac should be around -20 and 19 peak dropping to 15 is normal for any chipped k03, most actually drop lower than 15 past 5500rpm
