it was funny when i called them, i asked them so where do i put this on my Dmax (so i claimed i had one for argument reason), and he said right under the throttle body, and i said ok, but diesels dont have throttle bodies, there was a long pause and a click. that right he hung up on me.

The new 6.7's have them. Be for emissions.

they use the throttle plate for fast warm up times and as an engine brake. the dmax has it the cummins has it and i think the PSD has it but dont quote me on it, i could be mistaken
