Bjorn,
One thing you will enjoy with your new exhaust brake is when
engaged it almost stops all air flow through the exhaust pipe, this
dramatically slows down the turbocharger so when you put your foot back
into the throttle out comes this wonderful BLACK plume of smoke until the
turbo picks back up and the exhaust clears up. Absolutely great fer killing
Skeeters!!!
There must be something wrong with me for I Love The Smell of
Diesel in the Morning.
