I am not looking for perfection, but that it works. When the meter worked, it was hard to use due to it twisting in an arc. I did not want to mess with it fear I would damage something. Since you know how they work and what it attaches to, you are way less likely to damage something.On 16 May 2008 at 17:52, Adriel Huntington Rowley wrote:From: "Jim Adney" <jadney@vwtype3.org>> On 16 May 2008 at 7:08, Adriel Huntington Rowley wrote: >>> Wow, that is a steal!

I can't promise perfection.

So, what is the price?Also, what is the turn around time about at? I am thinking it best to do the M.A.P. at the same time, even if I loose count of my milage.
