330,000-mile VW TDI with extensive power and handling modifications: hybrid turbo, 22-psi ECU tune, PP502 injectors, water injection, lift pump, 2.5" turbo-back exhaust, custom intake tract, VR6 clutch, KONI coilovers, and SRS swaybar. Also used for light towing and autocross applications and serves as a ham radio platform. I have no fears of driving this car across the country on short notice. :-)
