I realize modern diesels are not as slow, but good grief, I know I got 10 gray hairs just pulling out of a driveway with my foot planted on the floor.

Ah, yes. I remember driving my mom's 300D in the early 80's. I treated the gas pedal like a toggle switch, either floored or foot-off-the-gas. Sadly there was not that much difference between those two positions.

Interesting find, thanks! Here's my observation:

- It took me just 2 minutes to exclude that little parasite.

- Though I do not feel much of a difference, unless I push it really high revs. And it is rather logical - it is just ~+10% power increase without any noticeable changes in NM curve, which to my mind is the biggest disappointment of Toyota's 2.2 diesel engine. The engine is just dead until it reaches ~2krpm. - And it has not changed after the modification. Anyone has a cure for that, except mistrustful tuning-boxes?

- Could it be that the ECU must adapt a bit after the change? - As it would normally be after a remap. (some say u can feel a change only after 200-500km of both mechanical and ECU adaptation under the new conditions.

- I consider myself to be a fanatic eco-driver and follow the MPG status every second. What I noticed at once- it now consumpts 5%-10% less fuel. Will give more feedback in a week. This is my first day.
