VW Coolant

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

I have to fill an 8x8 grid Idle is at 12. I had mine as high as 38 degrees 
with 30 at the top end as MAP increased I had to tune it back because of 
detenation. I am running more around 34 at the lower MAPs and 26 at the top 
end. Some of the mid areas I still need to lower where it advances.
