Property of StealthTDI · Added Oct 2010
Location: Hampton Roads, VA, US

400,000-mile VW TDI with extensive power and handling modifications: hybrid turbo, 22-psi ECU tune, PP502 injectors, Colt camshaft, water-methanol injection, lift pump, 2.5" turbo-back exhaust, VR6 clutch, Ground Control coilovers, Eibach Spec springs, Bilstein HDs, and SRS swaybar. Also used for light towing and autocross applications and serves as a ham radio platform. The car is ready to drive across the country on short notice and I travel on business regularly, earning $0.555/mi. :-)
