Have you done any upgrades to your TDI? I know a couple of folks in Nebraska that do some wicked things to those little boogers.

Sorry for hijacking your thread but I figured I should try and see if I can meet anybody through here since I live in North TX during the summer. Yeah I know, mine isn't a I-6 but I am in the market for a low mileage 2002 24v, just need time to find the right one. The Ole Chevy gets me by for now.
I like the compression, but who the heck knows where my compression is now!

Have to keep track of these NTX DTR threads and come on out when you are in town.. (spoken from the one who has to skip out on next weekend... moving )

PPUMPD is my vote, DSLTRK is a dead give away by your black plumes of smokes .

i also like Mikes "torque" idea. throw people off with "Torked"

i have a buddy with an 05 that is trying to get "FUELED" or " boosted"

i think i need "Slow CR" or "Muny Pit"

also, i read a page or two of licnese plates that are NOT allowed, pretty creative folks. i have been looking for it for the last few minutes but can't find

Ps. FarmBoy56, i am not very far from ya at all, down here in Tucumcari NM. you should venture out to albuquerque NM on may 16th for a charity dyno day. . PM me for details if interested.

May 16th is actually the date I plan on driving down to Dalhart and moving in. I am doing an internship with XIT Feeders this summer (worked at the Cargill Feedlot last summer) but I am going to try to make the Dyno Day down in Amarillo in early June. The price is a little steep for a dyno run but I would really like to see what my 6.5 can lay down. Probably open some eyes when the cummins folks see an old 6.5TD rolling coal on the rollers.

Wouldn't you know it. A turbo shows up in the classifieds local to DFW and I'm short on cash...

Oh well, it wouldn't have played nice with me anyway till I get the head done so I can use the extra air.

Not sure when the last time I turned the TST on was...
