Hey Big Damo,regarding the DP Chip and K&N Air Filter....My place of work is right next door to some local Diesel Specialists, they recommended the DP Chip as compared to most of the Euro ones,I can't remember the specific reasons why....however that's what I went with.Actually, I'd just returned from a 2 week trip to Tokyo( which I loved!)...I was on a bit of a high...and enjoying far too many red wines whilst surfing the 'net...so , I bit the bullet and purchased the DP31 Chip Online ! not cheap...$ 1495.00 to be exact.I was a little ****ed at myself for doing so, however, once she was fitted....about 10 mins work..I was rapt ! It is 10 position adjustments,,comes standard set at position 5...I am running mine at 6 , and am happy with that,Supposed to give 118 kw and extra 50 nm of torque. ( It certainly feels like it !)
As regards the K & N Filter...purchased from the UK ( On Ebay)...about $ 130.00 from memory. Contrary to a comment I saw made by another member, I have no doubt that the K&N made a very noticeable difference ( in the seat of the pants ) On my last service, I changed back to the original filter ( just in case Ford spat the dummy) ...When I remembered to re-insert the K&N 2 weeks later, I instantly felt the increase in power and smoothness.Hope my comments might be of some help to you mate.
By the way, I have sent you ( per email) a link to assist you with running in your "rattler"....I have run-in my vehicle using the guidelines, and couldn't be happier !!!!!!!!
Old Mate Chicka!
