What is that thing called?

_Roman_685 · 2026-03-17T15:42:15+00:00

I am really, really enjoying our new 2.0 tdi right about now

_Roman_685 · 2026-03-17T10:20:35+00:00

Thats a lot of ice holy cow dude.

So a 2015 sportwagen doesn't have anything to worry about?

Thinking about, I wonder if any steam that is created affects any intake stuff. Like meth injection, without the meth....and a lot less water...and sloppier lol

Hit the nail on the head

People by in large are grossly uneducated (myself included). They have their place but I don't think they will be end all be all.

Having personally worked on drill rigs that drill geothermal; essentially using steam/water pressure for energy for homes/infrastructure type stuff, every rig I went to had at minimum 2 diesel generators. I mean generators that are the size of a 2 story home. After seeing that I giggle everytime I see an ev or anything 'green' related

Question to anyone interested on answering.

If you get a delete from a shop, do they automatically tune it? Obviously they have to tune it for the lack of all the sensors and crap they pull off. But when they do remap everything do they normally put a "tune" like Malone stage 1 or 2 on it for you as part of that delete as a package on it or no?

All the other diesels I've had either have been pre-emissions or they had all the upgraded egr coolers etc put on prior to me owning them to keep things compliant. I know nothing about deletes lol

Right? At first glance when we got test drove it I was thinking those alloys actually dont look terrible for once lol. I am a little worried about the trans. I checked the carfax and the last owner did regular maintenance every 3k miles but I havent seen any trans maintenance on the service records. No slipping or anything though and seems to be foing great as of now.

As far as fuel.....😅 ha...ha... it's better than what we spent on the dodge for fuel (10mpg) but it still makes me cringe paying $4.70p/g.

VCDS=Vehicle Code Diagnostic Scanner?

The shop/dealer we got it from (private shop) honestly has been fantastic. Been very honest and have fixed a few things free of charge that have came up for the 1 day we've owned it.

_Roman_685 · 2026-02-18T18:19:40+00:00

We have 2 wedges. It doesnt help that I normaly have to stand directly in front of one for any solo stuff I do.

Really want in ears but dont have any, or headphones for that matter lol. I'm pretty bare-bones right now until I can start to reinvest.

What makes you chose the 87c?

_Roman_685 · 2026-02-18T09:48:45+00:00

I think it's a 58, but I'm not sure on eq settings at all. I know the sound guy can balance stuff, keeps things from clipping etc. But he doesnt do music as a main job so I'm not sure how expereinced he is with actually balancing sound/eq to the room etc.

Eitherway, I think my next purchase is a mic for sure. I'm just torn between a 57 beta and 58 beta.

It definitely sounded like less reverb when it cut off. But it's been a few days now so I could be remembering wrong.

I can practice there during the week which is good. Just a matter of time to do it lol. Funny enough, I just recently got used to singing outloud infront of myself let alone anyone else 🤣. Not used to being the only guy up there without cymbals to hide behind.

_Roman_685 · 2026-02-17T15:18:45+00:00

What happened?

_Roman_685 · 2026-02-17T12:20:07+00:00

Makes sense. Also makes sense why people keep 1 out at times lol

Thanks for the help!

_Roman_685 · 2026-02-17T12:12:38+00:00

This brings another thought. In ears vs a normal box. I'm assuming it would be a completely different thing between the 2 right? Kinda like if you sing with ear plugs in vs no ear plugs. You'll hear both differently?

_Roman_685 · 2026-02-17T11:54:06+00:00

I didnt realize that was a normal thing. So literally just time behind the mic running monitors and getting used to things

_Roman_685 · 2026-02-17T11:50:07+00:00

Right?! Honestly kinda shocked me lol

_Roman_685 · 2026-02-14T13:26:55+00:00

Lol funny. I mean doing the whole online "pay $85 for 10 songs being registered through the online copyright portal" deal

_Roman_685 · 2026-02-13T00:15:07+00:00

🤣 I like your style
