I have the factory fitted Prodrive kit (which is available as an aftermarket item AND its covered by Isuzu warranty!) ... its fantastic Very Happy

it gives the motor far more power and is a massive help when towing.

I know prodrive do one for the later 2.5 and 3.0 tdcis. As do Diesel Tuner Systems Ltd.
But - to hijack the thread slightly - Is there a kit for the earlier 2.5tdi (rodeo 2004)?

Oh excellent.
Can you tell me who makes it for the earlier (2004) 2.5td?
Really would like one for the new truck.
I mailed Diesel Tuner systems about their Spider chip but haven't had a reply yet.
Ta,

Prodrive are a UK based motorsport company and for years have been tweaking Subaru's for use in rallying and motorsport. More recently they have developed a kit that can be fitted to the Rodeo (TFS) pickups providing a switchable power boost.

Thanks guys.
I went online but not much to see there.
I have flipped them an email.
Any chance of a few words of the set ups you have?
Power-economy etc.
Are there exhaust mods too?
I guess your motors maybe slightly different.
Mine is the 3litre 4JH TC,same as Denver 2004 I believe?
Cheers. ;-p

Yabbie, you couldn't post us some info on cruise control if you have it, I know the older Holdens are available with cruise but not the Isuzus. Even photos of the controls and actuators would help.

Sorry Col
I don't have CC, but if it is this vintage you are chasing I think Jonathon63 has done all the homework.
If you send a PM he may be able to help out.

If anyone has any specific info on prodrive it would be great.
Two emails to them and no response yet.
