    A/C Performance

    I will say I had two dealers declare they did not know of TSB. After showing one the TSB and dropping truck off is only way they were willing to order parts

    Is it? Maybe the videos I saw people are putting it in reverse lol.

    Not sure whether to like it as I am glad you got footage, or be upset and say sorry. Any pictures of damage?

    License Plate Reverse light

    Did enough of my own work to know that I do not want to void my 100k bumper to bumper warranty or spend more of my time. Plus, this is America, it’s important to be able to point a finger and make someone else liable.

    Sounds like “drug handler” for one of the big “kingpins best performers” Haha

    If I am not making someone else’s life more difficult I am not doing my job. You can quote and post all your comments at the end, but I do know you’re wrong. Thread officially derailed. I’ll take a turbo motor over naturally aspirated if sized appropriately. Only thing I do prefer about the...

    The fact is that if both motors (hypothetical naturally aspirated creating 400 ft lbs at X RPM and a turbo engine creating 400 ft lbs at X RPM), are moving the same distance and both creating the same force (at X RPM) they are by definition doing the same amount of work. work = force x distance...

    You’ve proven that your original debate (declaring that turbos inherently “make an engine work harder”) is false, and you now acknowledge that stress and strain are a relatable to a force. I’m glad you elevated to physics and statics. Come join me when you get to at least bachelors level.

    Excessive pressure? If the engine didn’t have a/the turbo(s) it wouldn’t make the same power. So what’s excessive is driving hard, whether turbo or not. The turbo isn’t “working the engine any harder,” your foot is. They use turbos because they are effective and efficient. Not because they are...

    Stress and strain is what I have from reading comments that are not technically correct. You guys talking about working harder are not meaning stress or strain on components. Your own comment was “hot temperatures and less reliability = working harder” proves that you’re not talking about the...

    Stress or strain does not mean “working harder” unless you’re being subjective and making up your own definition of “work” and “hard.” Regarding “smoother,” my DSG Golf R was by far ‘smoother’ shifting under light and heavy throttle. Be careful with your blanket statements.

    Your definition of "working," or the process of work is not a technical definition, this is why you have a different opinion. Work = force times distance. Reliability has nothing to do with work. Oil tempature has nothing to do with work. Material temperature may impact work by a miniscule...

    For simplification, higher temperatures and less reliability means working harder? You used the word (at the end) in your definition of the word. My inner engineer is upset.

    I did not watch the video. I only have time to make silly analogies, not learn. I think the argument is subjective as your definition of “makes an engine work harder” is not the same as mine. Maybe we should start with, what does it mean by “work harder?”

    At low RPMs such as when causing ‘grunt,’ out of boost the turbos make the engine work harder. In boost, I disagree. You may work harder to fart in an environment with higher ambient pressure but you’re also getting air forced in you at a higher pressure therefore negligible or irrelevant...
