An ill-tempered machine, huh? Well, let's see. You could try LucyTuning. No, wait; that
wouldn't fit the low cost requirement. Hmm. Some kind of MOS approach? Too complicated.
22-equal would be perfect, except that you've got four cylinders, and 22 isn't divisible by 4. A
hyper-meantone would be more likely to actually reduce power. The Parch Diamond? Could be
risky, especially at high RPMs. I know! If your springs are soft enough, you could use a
dynamic 7-limit approximation. Or since it's a Volkswagen, perhaps a historical German
temperament would be appropriate? Too close to 12-equal, I suppose. If we knew the cylinder
volume, maybe we could be of more help.

Maybe he thought he could get away with just a tune up.
