    Hello! New CC owner here (well, its my 16 year old daughter's first car... but it sure is fun!) - I posted a thread about the car, referred to my album of some pics and then asked a few upgrade questions (I'm a natural aspiration guy... dunno turbos)... I read somewhere that the thread needed to be approved... but I've yet to find it. I'm sure you guys are overloaded... I just wanted to make sure that it didn't get lost or moved to another section and I just wasn't aware... Otherwise, I'm cool to wait :) Looking forward to learning...

    Hi kennix,

    I didn't realize that the post needed to be approved so I think I double posted my build thread.
    Please delete the second one I posted.

    Thanks!

    My 1982 vw rabbit pickup has a 1984 turbo 1.6 liter diesel quantum engine in it with a 5 speed eco transmission on it. The exhaust manifold is loose and missing 2 bolts but other then that it runs great I think. I should be getting 50 mpg in it and I'm averaging 30 mpg city or highway trips and I drive very soft. I have the cheapest mastercraft gear oil in it and the expensive 5w 40 mobile turbo oil in it. Why might my mpg be so terrible? What could cause a 40% loss in mpg in a diesel? It sound good and doesn't blow any smoke other then after sitting for a while it blows diesel smell and a little non black smoke out. Pretty grey ish. My number Izmir 8317068926 , any help is very appreciated because I'm about to go on a long trip
