Well I have been using the truck for a while now and enjoying it, the truck is returning 28 mpg average use which is less than I had hoped but better than I feared.
I loaded up with about 750kg today and seemed unaffected by the extra weight other than having a less bouncy ride. A real test will be towing a heavy trailer which is a job coming up soon. The truck is probably a bit slower and slightly less economical but this is outweighed by relief from the constant worry of it blowing up. It is also much quieter now especially on startup and when cold.
All in all if you did not know it had been converted you probably couldn't tell, all the electrics work the same and the engine bay is neat with only small clues to the change that only an experienced person would notice. As I have wired it into the ECU loom to power the injector pump the NATs is still effective at immobilizing the engine should anyone try without the key.
