Still trying to pinpoint why the car feels like it’s running on 90 HP. (90 HP + Auto + AWD + 3300 lbs = dog) Going to have it checked over my Thanksgiving break. did you check my wastegate sugestion yet? or no time to? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/audi-vw-guys-1-8t-problem/200539)._
