Im still waiting for some hefty wire to be delivered. Im also waiting for some ARP head studs as Ive just done my head gasket and installed a better flowing turbo and inlet manifold. I ran it with standard head bolts and lifted the head off the block...too much boost! Apparently these head studs do save fuel. I personally don't see how but so many people have them and swear they do. I want power from my van when I want it but mostly economy as i cruise off boost most of the time.
It will be a job to tell what MPG it is doing now as I have also messed about with the speedo and the needle isnt quite in the same place as it was. I think I will have to install a cigarette lighter socket and run sat nav from now on so I can monitor it properly.
My van didnt have power steering to start with so I'm not doing this for economy btw...its just too heavy on the steering for me TBH
