I think you may have misread it..
The optimum is no snorkel, standard grill (he tested aftermarket intake grills also)...
But if your needs require a snorkel his tests showed Safari to be the lesser performance loss. (I’m looking into APT custom version to keep flow)

Apart from the 3 Allisport diffs, i have the BAS 150 ecu and I/C, what seems to have made a positive impact is a Nugget air intake plumbing and a terrafirma straight thru centre pipe which eliminates a muffler. I think iam all done with the mods :-( :'(
By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

SupporterHi What part number is that? I assume you have it in a 2.2 Puma?

SupporterAny exhaust shop will replace the centre muffler, less forthcoming to make up a de-cat pipe tho.

Hi All,
I put the 170 into my late 2013 Defender 110 in 2014. Bought the puter off Bell and he shipped it over here. Then we sorted the module over the net using Teamviewer. Then i installed it in place of the under warranty puter using my Ipad. I carried the warranty one in a Coles shopping bag under the back seat then in case i needed to go to a Dealer before the 3 years were up. Also, he sent the upgraded intercooler, and the silicon hose set.
Goes like a dream now. Anyone who drives it says ....." This thing is quick ".

SubscriberI agree that the Ashcroft Centre diff in this case is nice but unnecessary.
Having said that I've been meaning to write up my experience of fitting Ashcroft ATB diffs to front, centre and rear of my 2009 2.4 Puma with 105k klms on it in France.
As my mechanic replied when I asked him if the Ashcroft products were much superior to the standard Landy, he said "It's a world of difference!"
I also had the Ashcroft MT82 output shaft fix fitted - it seemed a no-brainer given that the Transfer Box was going to come out.
The original was OK, but dry of course.
The difference in the vehicle is just immediately apparent. 90% of the backlash gone. Everything feels not so much smoother but "softer".
Also keep in mind many experienced mechanics consider the driveline in the Puma generally to be weaker than previous Defenders, especially the earlier 2.4 models which had the 2 pin front diff. **** weak. The 4 pin rear is apparently more robust.
Sorry, don't want to hijack the thread. What I really wanted to say is if you or anyone does replace their centre diff, or has their Puma transfer box worked on, in my opinion it's really worth it to fit the Ashcroft MT82 Output shaft kit.
