DID YOU JUST BLOW IT UP?!?!?!? hahahahahah, it took a long time to explain why that noise happened. hahaha.

Pinched off wastegate? What the heck is that? The only way it has a wastegate is if he installed one, and if he went through the trouble to install one, why would he "pinch it off"...?





I run a vegistroke on my 06 and I get some of the dumbest questions ever about it.

At two different dealers now I've been accused of running "bio" which is not anywhere near the same as just WVO/SVO. One of these said dealers also informed me that I should be running Ford additive in my fuel because my "bio" took all the lubricity out of the injectors... Apparently this guy has never touched cooking oil before, because it's quite the opposite of non-lubricative.

Also had some ricer kids suggest to me that I should put a blow off valve on or a wastegate... on my stock turbo'd, stock injectored truck. Oh ok! That's my problem right there!

Solution to turbo fart? Probably. Overkill? Most definately.

some peoples kids
Do you think they are still looking.I would love to see the Salesman's' face when they ask if he has one.

How many of you have been informed that Caterpillar builds the Power Stroke are the Duramaxx?I have even been told that is a Mercedes in a Dodge.And these people drive Diesel Trucks.
