After I replaced the plugs on my Forester XT I did need some nap time. Worst plug change I've ever done.

Are you talking about the circular thing, though? That can be replaced separately. I'm going to do this on my tiguan this week actually.

I didn't know about the dipstick test. I pulled mine and it started to run ruff. Put it back and everything smoothed out again. This is the one I got https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/audi-vw-breather-system-kit-genuine-vw-audi-522190

I’m getting a funny dead spot around 3-4psi of boost with my new intercooler. Feels like the boost goes away (my gauge doesn’t drop) and then it comes back when I hit 5 and stays till peak around 18-20. Idk if it’s because I didn’t change the pancake pipe so it’s straining it or something. The coupling adapter didn’t have an o-ring on it which I thought was off cause the factory one does.
Any ideas?
*edit - yeah so I was suppose to remove the factory O-ring and put it on the coupling. I’ll fix that tomorrow and try again

So yeah things work better when O-rings are installed…how about that.
Feels so much better now. I was disappointed before now I’m happy with the purchase. Feels like a cool spring evening all the time.

Dumb question time... forgive the dirty bay, its pollen season.
The things circled in yellow are for engine hoist attachments. I dont like how they look in the bay. I'd like to remove then for aesthetic purposes and will keep them in the boot for when I go to the shop.
Can someone convince me why this is a bad idea?
