um, okay

so last night i noticed the light behind my turbo gauge continues to stay on like, all the time

it's on the side pillar and it's the only gauge in that area.

i have NO idea how long it's been doing this, but it feels a little warm to touch - not like "burst into flames" warm, but like "yep, that light sure is on" warm

usually i leave car, turbo timer keeps going and everything "turning off" takes care of itself

not anymore it would seem

so how bad could this be on a scale of say, 10?

10 being "mang your cars prolly a molten mess by now" 1 being "i wish i had such a fly night-light"

any help gets high fives

ta..

I want a high 5....

Sound like whoever wired the gauge up, wired the ACC trigger to permanent 12V+.

If its LED based it won't kill your battery anytime soon, but if its incandescent based, start saving for a new battery if you leave it to long.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
