recently, i mean the engine runs good, but it seeme like its not as punchy as I would think. Is this just VW things, or am I supposed to feel some punch in high RPMS? Having 2nd grind when shfiting fast doesn't help etiher.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) CRAP (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

Do a compression test yourself. Tool at sears or any Flaps $30 to $50. If that test shows bad a leak down test can show where your loosing the compression but it will ultmatily leads to Motor work R&R. Comp test best Warm motor, disable ign and fuel eg pulling wires FI and ign. (dont want unburned fuel washing the oil from the rings it changes compression reading) then open throdle during test (can make intake vaccume and off the test a little) and lastly pull only one plug at a time for the test (dont want un filtered air and what ever sucking into the cylinders if all the plugs were out during testing) If the compression is OK then adjust your valves. A valve adj can bring back some pep.
