Grounding under $10
Subject:
2003 Jetta Wolf 1.8t. APR93, Magnaflow CatBack, Short Ram air Intake (nothing exciting).
Results:
o Smoother Idle. Engine used to dip from 770RPM to 690RPM every minute or so.
o Better Gas Mileage. I do 80% city, drive to work (Old Lyme, CT), grocery store and bank (East Lyme, CT), all within 10 miles from each other. Normally I would get about 310 miles on a tank of shell gas. Currently I'm at 355miles and still a way till empty.
o Radio reception still sucks. There are no decent stations in southeastern ct.
Material Needed:
o 6 feet of Stranded THHN wire (4 Gauge). Home Depot has than for about a buck per foot.
o 6 copper lugs that can accept 4 gauge stranded wires. You can go with gold connectors but it's a total waste of money.
1) Run Driver Side Chassis to negative on Battery.

2) Run negative Battery to Engine Block

3) Run Engine Block to Passenger Side chassis
