That's because people on this website are for going fast for cheap, and that's what DSM's do. 1st generation AWD TSI's 90-94 never had any crankwalk problems, crankwalk was only an issue on the 7bolt 2nd gens.

Why would you be downshifting into 1st :-x Most people don't understand that most older cars weren't meant to be able to do that!

IS IT ALL WHEEL DRIVE, OR FRONT WHEEL DRIVE!?

The stock "boost guage" is not a boost guage, it measures voltage off of the MAF and is no way accurate. You have some serious reading to do before you buy this car. Good luck
