> [@Mk4 30R](#): > > notch back or nothing! Good luck finding one for a decent price. I wanted one but they were way out of my range at the time. Yeah some shit is easy to work on but the computer shit is a complete nightmare. Im having some kind of issue where it runs really lean and backfires and it seems to be a computer and/or tuning issue but nobody can seem to figure it out. I was hoping the motor was shot because atleast then Id know what the deal was. Looking back I shouldve bought a Civic and it would probably already be in the 12’s. ---
