Aye nae wurries
It does make a bit o' difference (maybe not a lot, but it is noticable). Noticed ye didn't mentionthe EGR, might be worth a go at blankin' that off as well

Ah think that might be yer problem... Landies aren't really renowned fur there speed so try and not compare it to yer previous vehicles
Ye should get a bit more than 65 out of it.... but why the rush

Aye, just remember to make sure that whatever ye've cleaned it out with has well and truly dried out. Might be an idea to leave it over night and blow through with an air line or summit
