The DPFs gives freedom to ECU programmer to apply the so-called near-instantaneous throttle response control setting without the occurrence of billowing soot which d_mac always see when trailing the montero sport... hahaha
Vehicle owners actually paid for it but all credit goes to the manufacturer... so they are clapping... hahaha
