Got the tach put in (ran my own lead to coil as recommended) after a few
hours today. I decided to install one after getting my own dog-eared copy of
How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive, where it is suggested that keeping RPMs
in the 2,000�3500 range will help keep your engine together longer. Turns
out that was exactly what I was already doing, because that was the range
that felt �right�. Sometimes gauges just tell you what you already know.
