22 I want even more grunt!
More go is pretty easy these days on modern diesels if you’ve got a few bob to splash around. Start with an exhaust. Small turbo-diesels respond well to 2.5 – 3” diameter pipe with less restrictive mufflers. It won’t ever be loud because the turbo deadens a lot of exhaust noise. That could be worth 10-15% more grunt. Next might be a fuel chip. A plug-in system is best, don’t reflash the existing system, bought from a reputable supplier it’ll add maybe another 20%. But the icing on the cake is a bigger intercooler. Doing the 3 combined will make you some serious horsepower, getting the gee-gees back after adding all that heavy accessory and holiday weight. HPD in Adelaide make seriously neat intercoolers with a power advantage. Easily installed too!
