Yep, 3 inch freeflow exhaust system from the turbo back, increase boost (I never ran mine above 11psi anyway, which is probably factory), and fit a turbo and intercooler from the 3.1 litre engine.

The advantages of a 2.8 Paj over a MU are:
More power. More interior space (except for the boot) More comfortable due to coil sprung rear end. Nicer looking vehicle when set up for off road use. Larger diffs (9 inch). Chain drive engine. Some Mitsis have a factory rear diff lock.

then there's a terrano that has electronic diff locks front and back. Rm3-R 1996 onwards

I've got one of those, but my one only has the centre diff lock.

I'd be going with the MU. I have never yet seen small Mitsi diesels that have demostrated a degree of reliability that allows them to compete with their peers.

the mu is best. i have a manual 2.8 mu and its a great truck iv towed 2tone behind it ones every week for the last two years iv had it and its nether given me eney greif. its been up and down the beaches and stuck up two the doors a number of times . iv dun every thing from skidding logs on the block and towing the harrows . it goes incredibly well. 1500cc cars dont keep up with it in a drag race . its an awsim truck dont think ill ether part with it . iv towed 2.2 tone behind it with no truble. its a got good engin braking .planing on intercooling it and geting exhaust systim .
