Dave,
My wife has a 2000 viggen (60,000)new to her, which i just took on a little road trip to get aquainted with. I also read the posts about bad MAF and the #1 piston failling, so i put it on a tech II and though I had misfires in all cylindars, it was nothing to be alarmed about. I cleard the settings and then drove the car for a couple of weeks. Again a few misfires but no big deal So on this drive to western north dakota I drove the snot out of the car. I redlined in 5th, drove very hard in the twisties, getting into the triple digits often at full boost and my fears are greatly reduced. I will probably put in a new MAF soon, but only because I am a fan of preventitive maintenance.
If you dont run premium you will get detonation, and as always with a tubo, fresh oil a must.
You will enjoy this car.
