Dave,
I had Motson's do the full 2 stage upgrade of my GUII and at first was unhappy with the result only to find that I had a bad lot of fuel but when the filter was changed and the vehicle had done another few hundred k,s after putting in PROMA diesel treatment for the injectors the machine now goes
well, with approx 35% more power & torque. The hills that I lugged over in 4th gear are now cruised over in 5th gear. However the decrease in fuel consumption is a bit fanciful as
mine now uses 13.5ltr per 100klm a decrease in consumption of only .5ltr/100.
All in all I am now happy with the result. Suggest you ring Motsons. The alternative others have used is to change their turbo to a larger one and have their exhaust also altered. Most seem happy with this but it is a little more expensive than Motsons.
