Yep, not kidding about that. I test drove a 6.5TD Suburban yesterday that the turbo had something stuck in it (didn't buy it!). But man hit the accelerator and it'd smoke like crazy and actually go slower than with less throttle. Probably putting out the fire with too much fuel at that point. It literally looked like a tire burning worth of smoke coming out the tailpipe at anything higher than idle!
