After following anders directions the car is way less smoky (still smokes a little, hill start in 1st or winding up second will leave a decent cloud) and doesn't feel down on power. Got 28 mpg my last highway trip over 150 miles going 70-75 the whole time in 65 deg weather. Not sure why people recommend adjusting that limiter downwards for performance, all it does is add smoke. Has anyone here tried the governor mod? Shimming the springs or adding a stiffer spring? I would still like more power down low. Contrary to what everyone says about diesels and their low end torque, this car feels most powerful on the highway from 4k onwards.
