Thank you all for the kind words and y'all are certainly welcome.
I have benefited from wiretups myself so I try to do them when I can.
I can't take the credit for the info though because it was my fabulous mechanic at my fabulous shop that told me I could do it and how. I'm just passin on the info.
Also: while you're under there, check your vaccuum lines. One of them on our Beetle had come off the intake manifold and that's what caused the turbo code and power loss.
Cheers and peace!
