My "problem" is getting worse- I keep trying to conjure up ways to get a new turbo w/o the wife finding out.....

OK, now I have double PMS.
I just bought a 1999 VW Jetta TDI with a blown turbo.
Got the new turbo installed today, the old one had bad bearings and chewed up housing.
It was grinding away if it spun at all.
Need to change my sig. But not tonight, it's too late.

Yes it is Danny. In my case is trying to convince my accountant that a 4" mbrp exhaust is a justifiable business expense?

I do come up with some creative excuses. Last year i bought my daughter a 90cc quad and I told him her that I needed it to transport materials on a job that we were doing. We had over 5000' of 4" pvc to put in the ground for a new housing developement!

O.K. back from a long weekend at the lake. Me and old Chris sat around yet another campfire, and listened to diesels run around all weekend again. Its really terrible when you can sit in a chair by a fire and identify the diesel before you even see it. we can tell you whether its a 7.3, a 6.Ohno,5.9,or a duramax. still working on identifying the C7, just not enough of them running around the campgrounds to get a good feel yet.

so I guess you could say that our PMS/diesel addiction was in full force.

I was at a camp site yesterday with my boy scout troop sitting around the campfire and this truck and 5er were leaving. Not problem hearing the brand of truck. Noisy Dodge.

Oh, and so far, I like my 6.0hno. Been good to me. I like the sound of the 7.3 and the 6.0. Newer ones are fare to quiet.
