And if they happen to be covered with mud, then oh well. I don't much care for the carpet, thought that much was obvious since it is in the garage.

The rug was a gift. I figured I either A) throw it away, or B) use it for the garage. Helps keep my feet from freezing at night.

Yes, I realize the wastegates bypass the turbos. I do not need a lecture. What makes you think the next guy knows far more then me? Because I asked how to trick the computer into keeping the wastegates open permanently at idle
I may not be an expert, but this wastegate open = no turbo concept I happen to understand. Allow me for the next post:
"Dude, why don't you listen to that guy. You might as well be running with no turbos don't you get it? Your going to get turbo-lag."

20+ to list......
If you keep the wastegates opened for whatever reason you are looking for, the turbos are not going to spool, and your SL would drive like a Camry. If you want to get the idling RPM @ 1200 all the time, you will get a check engine light because the ECU thinks you have a vacuum leak.

Ricker, I'm so lost. 
Why are you going back and repeating yourself with the turbo-lag problem. This I understand. I never asked what would happen if you kept the wastegates open at idle only
Mabe you had a late night but I never once brought up ramifications of any sort, I simply inquired how I can fool the computer to keep the wastegates open at idle. Why do you keep going back to turbo-lag when I keep saying I don't mind

You keep contradicting yourself besides asking for advice on a totally lame ricer modYou say you don't care about Turbo-lag? you'll have NO turbo power if you somehow achieved this asinine mod..
All you want is it to be ridiculously loud in traffic, you'd be pulled over by the PO-PO in 2 seconds, thinking your throttle was stuck & give you a fix-it ticket..
Idiot for the Month of March
You really should sell the 600TT & buy a N/A vehicle & slap FART-CANS all over it...Sorry my patience is up w/you...

On another note, I notice you have Menzerma polishes in your garages, and your paint looks flawless. Please comment on how you are able to polish our swirl marks as I have tried Menzerma intensive polish with a orange pad and it does NOTHING on the hard ceramic clear cloat. I am told only the super intensive polish will get the job done. Your insight appreciated.

Do you remember typing this post below earlier????
Are you sleeping in your office/garage/living-room w/your SL too? I think you've inhaled dangerous levels of EXHAUST FUMES You keep contradicting yourself besides asking for advice on a totally lame ricer mod

You don't care about extra fuel loss? Which would be considerable (revving motor to 1500+ rpm's anytime @ idle) you'd be getting around 2-3 miles a gallon in City driving...
I hereby Award you the Official MBworld VillageIdiot for the Month of March

And let me get this straight, because I want my car louder it makes me a ricer? Go preach that same message to Lambo/Ferrari owners. Ridiculous.
I really thought you were actually a cool dude, don't see what your problem is. If you have a hard time comprehending or don't know the answer, then simply don't respond.

You tried with an orange pad? Who told you that?
For polishes, I like to use the Menzerna Intensive Polish and the white pads (assuming you do use a PC?). If you use an orbital buffer, it wont work. You can use a flex rotary, but I've found the PC 7424 to be more forgiving, especially to beginners; any PC should work just fine. For polishing, I like to use the PC 7424 with the 18007 Lambs Wool white pads.
Perhaps your not dedicating the right amount of time necessary? You can't rush the process, start at a slow speed and let the PC do the job, the Menzenra needs to be broken down to be effective.
You in Cali?
Not sure who told you about only the Super Intensive Polish working. It really depends on how bad your car is, but the Intensive Polish if you used right should take care of most swirl marks.

I am using the Porter Cable radom oribter. I used orange becasue white wasn't doing anything, but neither did orange in the end. So you are saying that white with intensive + enough time will take care of fine swirl marks? The swirl marks are fine. How long would it take to do the trunck section for example, three passes of polish? about 30 minutes?
