I have been doing a bit if researching, and there are several variants of my engine. They are all the same basic configuration, and use the same turbo, but the power output varies from 140 to 230hp, as stock. The only difference i can find is the lowest powe version hant got an intercooler (mine has). Mine is the 180hp version. Im not any good with diesels, but i do know that vw made several versions of the 1.9 tdi lump, and in england you can tell which someone has by how many letters are red on the boot badge, all black is 70hp, i in red is 90, etc. Correspondingly, and contra-instinctivly, the more power, the greater the mpg rating. so, is upping the available power on mine possibly going to improve mpg?

THere are times that the extra power would be welcome, like up long hills.

I hate typing on a tablet, its really awkward to edit.

Edit, its direct injection, as found in the genuine iveco workshop manual.... Poo, that means an awkward twin tank setup for veg oil.
