Fuck Gemini and fuck me

Asked Gemini what plugs run one temp colder for my 2011 GTI. This is what they said. Now I'm in the process of pulling my engine apart and either getting a new head and valves (because the electrode broke off in the cylinder) or a new long block (because I don't know what's causing no compression, could be damaged cylinder walls or fucked up valves)

All because Gemini told me the part number for the wrong fucking plug and said it was a popular option for the mk6 🤬🤬🤬

I'm so not happy right now!

The only silver lining is that now I'm forced to get a bigger turbo

Compressor surge

I have a 2011 GTI with stock turbo, downpipe and all other supporting mods. I also have a gfb plus diverter valve. Stage 2 tune from Stratified. The tune has been on there for a while.

​

Recently I've been experiencing my turbo going up and down, not steady at any bit of throttle. I recently replaced the N95 as well.

​

Why on Earth am I experiencing this compressor surge? What can be done about this?

Oil pressure gauge

Why is my oil pressure all over the place at idle? It does the same thing when I'm cruising on the highway as well and even when the car is not running it's showing different pressures constantly?

​

I just added a ground wire to the body of the sensor but it doesn't seem to be any better

Real world charging time

I am looking at buying a Q8 etron and it says that it takes over 14 hours to charge it up on a 240v charging cord.

Can anybody tell me how long it actually takes? I have a 50 amp breaker with a charger that can operate at 40 amps and I was able to charge my EV6 within 8 hours usually. 14 hours or more just doesn't make sense for my purposes.
