Very nice Matt, great build. Look forward to seeing the progress! What make is the voltage meter? Did you notice a good difference after the chip and exhaust?

[Mattyzvx Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Mattyzvx]

Thanks mate, the meter is Elite DCM 1230c
Yeah very noticeable gains with the chip and exhaust, got read outs off the Dyno of 156kw & 501Nm torque. Pretty happy with that

nice truck matt & welcome aboard!

You're a few items ahead of me on my 150 build but would be keen to hear how the chip and pipes are going. I've done most of my equipment and suspension mods and now feel the (not so old) girl struggles a bit from when she was new.

cheers
drew

Hi Drew, the chip and pipes make a big difference especially when she is loaded up with all the camping gear. No problem overtaking now!

[vxcruiser08 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close vxcruiser08]

Much difference in fuel mate? Or are you driving her a bit harder now?

[Mattyzvx Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Mattyzvx]

Bit of both, there is defiantly an improvement in fuel economy getting round 1250kms to a tank, but love the sound of the instant turbo spooling so a little heavy footed at times

Nice looking rig mate. Coming along nicely.
That's good results for the chip and exhaust. I am looking at doing the same at some stage. Also with a snorkel. Just getting some of the other things first.
