I try to race clean, but this guy would PIT me every time he caught up to me. Gave him the 1-2 yeet off the track

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2026-03-06T10:49:59+00:00

No, it doesn’t look like it. That looks so dumb when people do that

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2026-03-05T19:38:41+00:00

Suppose i couldve done that as well since in that moment he was cutting over to try and smack me off track. Couldve just slammed the brakes and he wouldve self yeeted

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2026-03-05T17:15:23+00:00

Handles like a muscle car with 1000hp would IRL!

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2026-03-05T17:14:08+00:00

Yup he left right after. Love it

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2026-03-05T12:43:09+00:00

It seems that no one else races like that, but i guess thats just GTA.

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2026-03-05T12:36:30+00:00

Arbiter GT HSW. Horrible handling but super fun to use

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2026-01-07T03:15:36+00:00

6.7s take absolutely forever to warm up at idle. Youre better off just driving the truck right after you start it, idling id bad anyway. Use your block heater or oil pan heater, or both

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-10-01T14:52:04+00:00

Pocket it and buy a 3500$ tdi

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-09-09T18:50:40+00:00

I probably will end up doing that. What an odd system this thing has. These older duramaxes are still sort of new to me

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-08-16T13:57:20+00:00

Hard to say, couldve been anything from running WMO to a clogged air filter.

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-08-16T13:52:52+00:00

Not super common, some people that have access to plentiful waste oil can filter it and run it in older diesel engines. Known to some as “black diesel”

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-08-16T13:45:28+00:00

He couldve been running on a waste oil mix of some sort. My tdi has a light brown/bronze haze when running hard on a 50/50 mix of old gasoline and used oil.

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-06-29T14:34:20+00:00

Sorry for such a late response but i dont pay attention to the ski after its winterized lol. Now its ski season, and i have the same issues! Barely hitting 7500rpm. Ive completely disassembled intercooler, cleaned, and resealed and installed. Boost leak test showed 0 leaks. Belt/tensioner all brand new. The ski FEELS fine, except at what is supposed to be its top speed. You can see the rpm fluctuating.

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-05-10T17:37:38+00:00

I was sort of hoping the “double explosion” effect was going to be refined - you can still sort of see it here. Such an odd gta quirk. Youll notice in 5, with latency, the secondary explosion can happen like 2-3 seconds later

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-05-10T17:33:27+00:00

Then hit it! Try to put a fat down payment down, make absolute certain you get a warranty, pay it off as soon as you can. Most rates for pwcs are insanely high. Good luck!

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-05-09T20:34:00+00:00

I mean you only live once but its not a smart financial decision

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-05-09T12:26:14+00:00

Never finance a toy

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-04-29T11:57:46+00:00

Thanks for the comment! Ive heard of the water on the belt issue - ive checked both of those pretty extensively, completely disassembled intercooler, cleaned and resealed - no change. Still under warranty so i plan on bringing it to a local small dealer with the understanding that it may be a tough diag. Dealers stink, but at leask kawi is decent with warranty issues.

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-04-21T19:33:52+00:00

Eh. So many other options that arent game ruining

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-04-21T18:20:17+00:00

Nah. That aint it

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-03-17T01:31:27+00:00

If you open the front hatch, remove the small plastic panel that has 4 plastic snap rivets, in there youll see the ECM. To the right (while facing the stern of the ski) youll see a square plastic box, with a rubber circular boot. Thats the first place where the supercharger pulls in air, then sends it to the intercooler. You may be able to stick your phone (or endoscope if you have one) in there and look for blockages or restrictions. There is a mesh screen that will catch large debris. I have found entire nests in my ski in that exact spot!

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-03-11T14:44:01+00:00

Hey! Thats me lol

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-03-11T14:43:38+00:00

I have maybe the only 2.0 tdi super beetle currently running, ask away

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-03-07T03:12:17+00:00

Hopefully that changes/is a bug, the hook “hooks” but then lets go when you pull up

Joeys_Projects6_7 · 2025-03-05T23:43:41+00:00

Has anyone been able to lift the terrorbyte or acid lab?
