Re: Question about gas
California just outlawing 100LL is much different than it stopping world wide production. If CA did outlaw it I’m sure the Biden Administration would say nothing.
Just have to fly to Nevada to gas up.

Re: External Alternator - 2 Reasons why
I just ordered the external alternator as an add on to my complete TSi kit. This means I will have to modify the cowl with a little bulge to support the extra alternator but this is what the factory does themselves when this is ordered, not that big a deal. Anyway my 3 reasons include some of the ab...
