IMHO, only if you have the spare cash lying around and don't know what to do with it. In my case I was retrenched and got a nice package, so what the heck.Quote:

I love it, it has really brought the PUMA to life. It is hard to appreciate the driveability (if that’s a word) that this map has brought. The difference is noticeable as soon as you let the clutch out.
Power increase is right across the rev range and very very smooth.
I regularly tow a 2t off road van and the improvements here are what I was after and I am not disappointed.
Does the PUMA need it.... no, but it so so much better with it.
increase is about 80-90NM and 30-40KW.

following a defender is the best way to improve your economy.
convoying out of Adelaide with a number of LRs this becomes really noticeable. i know of a 200 tdi that just bettered 7ltrs per 100 a 300 tdi bettered than 8lts per 100. this is fully loaded all around the 3 ton mark
as with the 95-100klm seems to be the sweet spot, any more than that you are really just push a heap of air.
Keeping the EGR shut is the bit I like. PatQuote:

We can do that. Pat
My 2 cents worth. Our puma has been in our possession for 6 months now. 13 odd thousand kms on it.
Have been monitoring the fuel usage via a phone app believe it or not :eek:
Now it is my daily driver, the short 15 km return each day to work, throw in a few hunting trips, some extended weekends away with the family & camper in tow & you have our sort of usage.
Overall average for it's life to date is 12.8l/100km.
Gets low 10's on the highway with out the camper.
Around the mid 12's with the camper in tow.
13's around town.
I am hoping the l/100km will drop a little into the 11's with the camper in tow once it gets a few more kms on it ;)
But still fairly happy with what we have so far :D
Well, I just completed an 8,000km Sydney to Cape York return trip.
Running Mud Terrains, Roof Tent and full "expedition load" and returned 11.8L over the 5 week period.
