    Sluggish disco.........not any more!

    Just a simple question to all that played with the fuel pump. Nobody fitted an EGT gauge to see how much it impacted the exhaust gas temp playing with those settings? To me installing an EGT gauge would be the first step prior to installing an intercooler an playing with the fuel setting in...

Below 40 Km/h it doesn't make it and it only does it when I turn right. The truck as only 69 000 Km and...
