Wow!! 55hp difference? You only get about 12mpg now, what the Hell is going to happen when you get maximum power and boost

Yep a huge difference. Dads truck bearing in mind is a LWB fully loaded with tools etc easily shits on mine when the hammers down. As for the MPG we've jumped up from 15 to 20/21 all thanks to adjusting the throttle position sensor and cleaning out the diesel filter.

So even if it goes back to 15MPG it wouldn't bother me that much. Got to have a bit of boost.

Nice detective work Dan!:thumbs:
It will feel like a new car with around another 40% more power under the bonnet.

It'll be back to how it was before the turbo went first time around.

Like a greyhound with a red hot poker up its arse.

MPG might be ok because you won't be thrashing it to make progress.

Glad the mystery is solved. 21mpg?!!? My LWB Auto Petrol Shogun managed 19, bit more on a run, didnt realise there was so little difference between the engines.

Now that is good thinking.

I think it's more down to how often thay're serviced. Mine was badly looked after when I got it.

Don't panic, there isn't anything fancy with this update, just me being tarty.

I managed to seize the opportunity to buy a genuine factory option wheel cover.

These, when you can find them are usually pretty fucked.

Cracked, parts missing and scratched up. Not to mention in that state they are around

Please don't do any of your mad-arse aboriginal artwork on that mate........that would just look wrong. Are you going white and silver?

lmao, that thought never crossed my mind. Although if I was living in Aus I would probably do it.

But I'll save the abbo stuff for the canvas.

Well I did initially have in mind to do this all in Scotia white to match the bodywork, then the logo in red, 'pajero' in gold and 'super select 4wd' in red. But I've changed my mind and going to spray it all in OE silver with the logo in red, 'pajero' in white and 'super select 4wd' in gold.

EDIT: this was what I was going to do;
