Apparently there's a short in my heated seats. When I dial them down to off, they stay on. Drained my battery completely dead......had to pull the fuse...now, no heated seats. :/

Progress made on turbo install. The turbo oil feed is a royal pain in the ass to install. we had to cut off a bracket to get it to slide through.

Also drove my friends 2002 S8. v8 40 valve. fun to drive. feels about the same acceleration as my chipped 1.8t until about 80mph, but then the 8 cylinders just keeps pulling on the highway. fun car.

Tried to identify my right side clunk, found a slightly loose sway bar bolt but still clunking.
