GU 4.5 on gas OR Gu 4.2

Hi,

My mate is planning to sell his highly modified disco and buy a GU. But fuel economy is his major concern. He thinks GU 4.5 running on gas should save more on fuel than a 4.2 diesel. Is that right? Anyone has experience on 4.5 GU running on gas?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Top or front mount intercooler

I know this topic has been discussed many times but I can't find those threads. Looking to fit a intercooler to my gq. I have got a WRX scoop so thinking to fit a top mount but they seem to be smaller than front mounted cooler. However, it's far away from radiator which may be better.

Any idea?
