Re: RA 2003 Chip, Exhaust and Tyre Questions.

if you get a modified dump pipe and a 2 and a half inch zorst, it will spool up a lot quicker. The biggest restriction on the Rodeo was getting the exhaust out of the turbo.

Re: 2 inch Body lift for Rodeo

you only need to undo a couple of harness clips underneath from memory. Radiator hoses are fine, but you will have to chop the bottom out of your fan cowling if you are not going to drop the radiator. Even the fuel filler hose is long enough to cope.

how thick and how much? i can get you all kinds of conveyor belting. A lot of it has kevlar banding through it.... you won't destroy it in a hurry. If you can give me dimensions, i will cut it to size and you can organise through Outerlimits Freight Service to get it delivered.

the standard turbo on a rodeo will only produce 14 psi max with the waste gate disabled. I used to run mine at 12psi but i put an intercooler on it and had it dyno tuned. Went from 72fwkw standard to 89rwkw and torque went up from a factory specified 220nm to 350nm
