Petri, I just thought you'd be interested to know that I pulled the trigger today on the unichip Q4. Izak at dynotech did the fitting and I must say Revo didn't exactly blow my socks off on the way home, but in all fairness I was in the 5oclock traffic on the N1... Although the pull away is quite br...

Re: GD-6 2,8 4x4 Raider D/Cab Manual : The Good and the Bad

Ja , the products called 'level it' and I had it fitted at Safari centre for the princely sum of 2k. I've had no issues to date and I'm still getting 9.3lt/100km, vat omtrent 45min on the fit, well worth it me thinks.

Dude!!, that's a huge gain in torque!., Are you still getting similar consumption figures though?., also is it a piggyback unit cause my revos only got 3k on the clock, TSA gaurantee and all that [emoji41], but I want to need it! Cost fitted?

Agreed dirka, thanks for the response. Can you give me an idea what it'll take to put the Revo on 33s,iro suspension mods, body cuts , etc and will I have to deal with tyre rubbing whilst off-road or at full lock?

Stupid question,if the auto 2.8 revo makes 450nm(30 more than the man),does that mean that it's possible to somehow access that' missing' power?.I'm going to need extra horses when I fit 33 muds. What say you power boffs?
