Stands to reason given MLs are coming up to 8 years old.

Ill give it a tank or two to check.

I'm just going by the dash display so far but that's been quite accurate for me when comparing to pump litres and k's driven. Will have to give it a couple of tanks and calculate them myself to be sure.
I can't get my head around why Tony's mod would make it use more fuel OR make it more responsive all the time. Was the throttle somewhat closed under light loads all the time without the mod?

So I've looked around and read up on a few pages and as Shogun said... Head ouchy...
What I can't figure out is how an electronic fix proves more effective than a mechanical one on what my head says is a mechanical process... Not an electronic one!
Re plug and play thing, most report better response, fixes dodgy maf sensor connection issues that these vehicles are notorious for (we've had a lot confirm this) , will keep carbon build up away from inlet manifold, lower EGTs compared to full blank plate, stops annoying hunting/surging on cruise control just to mention a few.
I normally keep a low profile on this, but times have moved on since MMAL's software update on underboost issues over a year ago. Allowing a full blank is only a side effect of the actual reason for the update being barometric pressure differences.
So true the blanking plates seem to run fine these days on the VGT equipped 4D56, but if you look at what happens to the EGTs, Air fuel ratio, fuel economy, cruise hunting etc. I'm not convinced its a good idea anymore. I actually threw all my blanks in the recycling ages ago as realized the blanking still upsets the engine management with the negative manifold or lower pressures.
When you tune these great engines, tossing the blank and using the AIT resistor idea makes gains and does so safely.
