A Provent catch can would be beneficial as well.
It amazes me how clean my engine oil is at 168,000 Klm's. Much cleaner than before the GDE Tune.

I wouldn't be getting the GDE tune to disable the swirl motor as you have already done yourself exactly what it does.

I would get the GDE eco tune or even the hot tune (or both) if you want more power and better fuel economy. The added advantages of the GDE tune is that you get a quality code reader/clearer (I believe) and the tune also deletes the program that stops the engine reving when you have your foot on the brake. i.e., If I want to get across in front of traffic quickly, I brake with the left foot and have the revs up a little with the right. Without the tune, there is a half second lag from the time you lift off the brake to the time the engine starts to really take off. The tune fixes this and gives instant response.

You get it from CRDSTU who is a member here.

DGE tune info
http://www.greendieselengineering.co...+tune&model=++
http://www.murchisonproducts.com.au/performance.php
The concern I have with the tune is that your transmission is rated at 580nm & the tune boosts engine torque to 595nm.
There are a lot of people running this tune and to date I haven't heard of any G/Box failures so it may not be a problem.

I wouldn't be worried about 15nm of torque. In reality, when are you ever going to have the engine trying to access absolutely every ounce of power/torque??

The GDE certainly gives you quite a bit more power & torque, however you are not often at those maximum figures, and if so, not for very long.
