Message	it was a few psi off when the other read 100 so I opened it up and adjusted it to match. I still saw 20-30% leakdown and confirmed its venting out the crankcase not the valves. You may be able to adjust the percent gauge that is sooo off by elongating the adjuster crimp. Daily driving a TT is like ordering your favorite pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner. It's not healthy and eventually you will lose the magic of the meal. Sometimes you just have to have some meatloaf.
