Hi All

I am proud to be part of the Patrol community

I have a 2006 GU IV manual with a ZD30. I have owned it since 2010 but have only just started doing mods to it. So far I have a Beaudesert 2.75 inch exhaust, ECUtalk, extra brake and stop lights and a oil catch can. I am planning to install a Dawes and EGR. I also have a CC inter cooler on order. I use my troll (affectionately known as Kevin) for a bit of 4x4, collecting wood from the nearby forests in a box trailer ( I live near Ballarat) and towing a caravan (16` pop top).

Future mods also include upgraded suspension and EGT gauge. I am yet to decide whether a chip is really worth it with my current mods.

Hi and Welcome, thanks for getting my attention to the ECUtalk, and GGRRRrrrrr I am so tired of the lack of options to communicate with my engine donk, good old reliable technique but not easy to do funny stuff with.

Welcome Chris, this is a great forum for info and support.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
jump in anytime and enjoy.

As for a chip by themselves they don't make much difference, but,
With a bigger exhaust, you'll feel the difference for sure.
