well im confused now - to nads or not to nads, that is the question ....

CRD are thirstier than the "Mighty Di" I would wait for ppl
like Kevin07 and Hodge and others for real world fuel figures

Ive got 2 mates than have fitted snorkels to the CRD, and both went from about 11-12L/100 - to 15 to 18L/100
I'm not keen on that.

This is news to me as well.... the general consensus as I understand is that a snorkel provides a minor improvement in fuel usage - but the CRD can be a fiddly beast

My CRD (33" muddies, AUTO, barwork, roof rack etc) is definately on heavier side for fuel use -- around 16L/100km around town (mainly short trips though) and pushes out to around 20L/100km on high country low range trips, I did not noticed any increase in fuel usage post snorkel install....

Not to turn this into a fuel figure thread but 33's wouldnt be helping your cause
.and 265's are just too small except for hwy only duties.
I would never have thought fitting a snorkle would raise your figures, cleaner ,cooler air
learn something every day.

Bottom line is you need to control your boost or atleast see what its doing.
other wise you're just driving blind not knowing what happening under the bonnet.
being able to control your boost after any modification has to be a good thing.
