Hi Dr Gary, the two stroke oil added to the fuel at a rate of 200 to 1, helps to replace the lack of lubricant, created by the removal of sulphur in the modern diesel fuel.
I run this in my 2.8TD and find a small fuel saving.
It seems to quieten the engine a bit and would also lube the injector pump.
You would be advised tho, to seek further info before adding two stroke oil to the fuel in your common rail motor.
Cheers, the ferret.

Whats the swirl butterfly removal mod?? I know there is 2 vac operated valves in the intake past the cooler..... Which one to block and why?

[Dr Gary]

Hi Ferret and all:
So I need to control oil vapor getting to MAF. Is the catch can an alternative to the PCV filter, or do both do the same job? Or do I need both??
I know I would need to empty the catch can, but what is the maintenance on the PCV filter? What brands are better PCV filters?

[the ferret]

Dr Garry, just block the EGR and fit a Provent 200 catch can, this should keep the MAF clean.
You may need to also fit a boost control and an EGT sensor and gauge.
This is all part of the NADS.

I'm keen to know this too.
I believe there is no reason for a ZD30 to grenade is the NADs has been done. As the reason for them grenading was overboosting issues and holing usually no.3 and 4 pistons.
I did what I call the NADs PLUS The plus being gutting the cat to further reduce the exhaust temps and also give a little more power.
Just to add, I fitted a Provent aver a month ago and I check the filter and its still like brand new.

asferret said the provent 200 catch can is the best simple to install keeps the MAF clean,easy to inspect,i got 60ml out of mine after being in for 3mths
hope this helps----roofy
