Surprised to see it's peak bhp at 3400 rpm, that's thrashing the old burner a bit, but then diesels do need a good blow out once in a while

a very interesting combination of adaptations. A 7gear auto box great idea with any taxi engine but electronic stability control and electronic traction control, not so sure :?:

Re: G350 Goes Blue, and also G wins again!

OK Can you please help me understand the following;

1. You add the adblue and it converts the emissions to mostly water - what happens if your off roading and you 'dink' the exhaust, can that have issues with the emissions and the water collects in the exhaust, esp the Kats?
2. Stability control - what will that do?
3. 7 gears - hmmm loads to play with then when off roading!
4. Adblue - does that mean there are now TWO tanks to consider?
5. So what is the MPG with Adblue?

Cheers
