Too much driving for one day and had a couple roadside reapairs, no not on the T-reg but the Passat, glad i'm done with that thing:amen: Averaged 24MPG for the trip and I was in boost ALL THE TIME:eyebrows: I am loving this thing, better pics tomorrow. Me and the 'Reg and Bro and I with it.

Nice you love it welcome to Heavy fuels

24mpg and all that power :thumb: and more of both to be had!

[bradp]

Has just a little bit of torque doesn't it?

That thing is nice. 24 mpg in something that heavy is darn good, not to mention being into it so much.
Also, in the first pic......Got some captain in you????:thumb:

That's a sissy push bumper biatch:p not a brush guard! I was kinda hoping that thing would grow me cause I'm sure the old guy spent a few Benjamins on buying it and a few more on having it installed but I haven't grown to love it-or even like it really.:o Just been cleaning T-reg some today (at least before I started drinking at JohnL's house for his way cool party:thumb:) ande gonna change the oil, not gonna do any mods till after teh first trip to the strip. Just to get a baseline before the power parts start:eyebrows:

[Aries_Turbo]

yeah lose that thing. the rest looks good. :)

Make sure you use the right oil. I think the V10 TDI's are more finicky than even the 4 pops on oil. I think ELF is the what you want to use.

Please, please, PLEASE upgrade the turbos before you throw too much fuel at it. Excessive black smoke is nasty.

Made a little trip to Irwindale Dragstrip last night for my baseline runs. This thing is pretty fun to make passes in and it suprised a few Honda's as well:lol: I was feeling pretty strong with the top 'SUV' spot till an SRT8 Jeep showed up and laid down a 7.46:clap: (like an 11.6X 1/4:wow1:) That thing left sooo hard!

I figured T-Regasaurus would run about 9.50's, (high 14's) but it did a little better:eyebrows:

First pass ever, took off the traction control, power braked to about 1200 RPM's and matted it when the tree came down:

RT .546
60 1.98
330 6.02
1/8 9.312
MPH 72.69

That's a 14.5X 1320 BONE STOCK! It still has the dirty air filters and the black oil that I bought it with last week. I made sure to do nothing (except top up the oil a quart, it takes 12 so that's just a little) since I bought it but put some air in the tires. I have plans for a reflash that advertises 65 WHP and 120lbsFt, a custom air intake, and a high flow exhaust for starters. If that's not enough I'll upgrade the turbos a bit too. Looks like my plan to have this thing in the 13's won't be all that tough:thumb:

[black86glhs]

Dude 14.5 is slow. Maybe Matt can get you more torque so it can make more HP.:thumb:
J/K....not bad for an over sized kerosene heater(the diesel).:hail::clap:

Just so you know as soon as you change the oil the oil WILL be black again.
