Well as of now its only a thought, but I'm talking about taking the interior out and only leaving dash and two seats. Then taking the engine out and doing a complete wire tuck, removing ac and then well we will see :ninja:Quote:

In some short yes, but Ill tell you this they are fun if done right. Also you can piece a turbo for your D and have more HP and torque IMO.Quote:

You really don't need to build the D it has already low compression, but you cannot over boost it as well... the best boost level is 8psi on stock engine with a tune. As well with good turbo, manifold, waste gate, and again a good tune will suffice in this matter. Hmmm down fall is that you will want more boost and this is were people tend to over do it and in which there engine goes BOOM!Quote:
