Depends what you want it for... I do a bit of off-road and a fair bit of towing and found the torque better placed (@2000rpm) in the diesel for my purposes... Side by side, the new diesel goes better and with similar acceleration to my MK 3.0 V6

I think it will be limited off road as you can only do a 30mm spring lift but i am doing a lot of towing.
Have you put bigger tyres under yours?

I get mine in 2 weeks but I did get a day long test drive when I ordered it...

As for the offroad stuff, seriously unless you are going rock crawling they are very capable - I just about sick to death of people looking at me like I'm an amateur when I rock up in a V6 triton with 31" muds on, then the snide comments start... And then the smirks are wiped off their faces when I manage to go everywhere they go...

I'll be running two sets of wheels again, stockies for everyday and a set of sunny's with 31 or 32" muds

Personally I would forego the rear locker and fit a front ARB or similar - the Mitsu LSD is a tight unit and works well

Just my $0.02

Why not rear factory and ARB front locker and realy wipe the smiles from their faces?

Add some carwlers gears to that and you can DRAG the smiles from their faces
