Man, I thought my wagon's exhaust had an annoying drone on the highway.  Me and my Miata were having a good time yesterday, but it's raining today and she started to leak on me.

This is a good looking car but the wheels help an awful lot. I really like the way they fill out the wheel well.

My 04.5 GLI would turn the front wheels black in 2-3 days after a wash. The Golf doesn't seem to even acknowledge that the brakes have dust.

I'm posted it before but what a cool looking car - 1980 928 Going to daily drive the spaceship for a while. Sure it gets ~1/4 the mpg of the golf but who cares.

Vitamin J posted:Gonna explain how you think they work? Boost pressure pushes against a fixed spring tension; the wastegate will not open until that pressure is reached. It'll take longer to spool, sure, since it has to spin faster to pressurize the thinner air, but unless something is very wrong it should still hit the same absolute pressure. That means the same air mass into the cylinders, same fuel burn, same power on boost. Why do you think some of the very first applications for superchargers (both belt- and turbine-driven) were for high-altitude aircraft engines?

Fucknag posted:Boost pressure pushes against a fixed spring tension; the wastegate will not open until that pressure is reached. Technically you still have atmospheric pressure in addition to the spring, which at a higher altitude could influence your peak boost numbers, although not as severely as was mentioned earlier.
