Is the mod for sale?

[mpgomatic]

@lbryan250 Best bet is to check bankspower (dot) com ... they listed the exhaust system a while back, not sure about the other parts.

but does it blow black smoke??

[mpgomatic]

@cledus10376 Nope.

@cledus10376 black smoke = wasted fuel = wasted hp

@Batojiri1 No clutch pedal = no fun. And less of the dipshit. You don't know me or my mental capabilities therefore you're not in a position to comment like that.

@jonnjonn1988 The DSG is an electronically shifted Manual transmission dipshit.

@mpgomatic get an older new beetle if you wanna do black clouds, i smoke ppl out often in my moms.

[jonnjonn1988]

It's an automatic...

Real VW TDIs with proper power are manual!

@woodpecka39 but black smoke is REAL COOL!!! ;) if I ever get a TDI... I will make sure it blows black smoke...lol

@woodpecka39 - Somewhat true... If watching a tractor pull- notice normally when they spool up- It's a thick white smoke- with the occasional fireball or two. (also depending on modified injection systems) Once they're spooled- and the clutch is released- the RPM from the engine is slightly lagged due to the load again the power plant, causing a slight residual of unburnt fuel. Hence- the dark black smoke. Watching tractor pulls- take notice to the burn-off when they finally stop- it'll rpm high

@dash456789 I do agree that woodpecka is correct. Think to when you see a powerstroke stomp it from a dead stop, it smokes like crazy then when the turbo spools up it doesn't smoke anymore hence the added air from the boost is burning the fuel. I tuned my truck and it black smokes now but it gets better fuel mileage......hmmm....wasted fuel though? I don't understand...haha

[dash456789]

@venom8343 Nope. Woodpecka is correct.

@woodpecka39 black smoke equals power bitch! If it don't smoke black, take it back!!

@abdi862 Every month or so, to get rid of the black smoke, take the vehicle off overdrive, and floor it from 0 to 55, or 60, a few times until you no longer see the black smoke in your rear view. Bit of a hassle, but completely worth it in the scheme of things.
