Sounds like you should have just lived with it..   hopefully the rest of the House was built as strong as your floors

Omg I know it. I just wanted to replace the carpet! Yeah, I agree with the wife, the tile is horrific. But, totally livable. She refused and said if we do carpeted areas, we do it all. And so, FML.

If they used mastic instead of mortar it is a complete PIA...I've actually convinced customers to use a self leveling mortar instead of demoing that crap. Little pricy, but awesome to lay tile afterwards on completely level surface.

Really, I guess I am ignorant to the difference. Whatever it is, there are areas (most of it) where it's impossible to even differentiate between slab and thinset, which is why I etched into the slab numerous times. It's just unreal. If there were an F5 tornado, nothing would be left, except for the slab.....with ugly ass tile on it. Lol

2013 SHO PP

Hit a little over 15k on BAD BETSY so thought will do a little preventative maintenance on her,removed both map sensors and air charge sensor,IAT and cleaned them up with some air mass cleaner,great and safe for electrical components and leaves no residue,car feels smoother with a little more PEP.

^Probably a pretty good idea, with all of the oils a junk making their way into the intake tract upstream of the sensors, from emissions control systems, and over oiled air filters. XD

A while back the map sensors CX-221&CX228,2bar&3bar were relatively evenly priced,as of late the 2-bar is a fraction of the cost of a 3-bar?

In my area there very few SHO's but what caught my attention lately are the large amounts of X-SPORT in my area,maybe cause its twards the end of the year with good incentives,last year at the same dealer where i purchased my SHO the X-SPORT was going for close to 50k.

Those VW engines run so hot! I had a 02 Passat 1.8T that sludged up at 30K miles.  I was the second owner, came off lease, so never had synthetic.  Dealer replaced oil pump and other stuff under warranty.  Then I chipped it and it still had major turbo lag.  Traded it in for a new '06 GTO :D

That's a perfect storm for engine failure. Dyno oil on a cherry red turbo... I bet that oil lasts all of 1k miles. Do they all run that hot? I was considering an audi down the road but I don't want that kinda s*** going on.
