I found it - Banks Power Boost link

I did install the Banks Power Pack on my 6.9l diesel and it did improve hp and mileage. Same principle was involved by removing choke points in throughput of air/fuel and out through the exhaust. Simple things that should have been done on the stock versions IMHO.

If you find a youtube for the 460 power pack please post it!
I found it!

My truck is basically original and as long as it works reliably, thats the way it will stay. I can fix almost anything with pliers and zip ties.
In the states we have a saying that goes "if it isn't broken, don't fix it". There is also an old wives tale that once you fix/upgrade/replace something on your vehicle, the adjacent parts will start to become jealous and begin to leak/misfire/malfunction in the hopes they will also get some attention. I personally saw this happen last week on my audi.
Anyways, you are a brave man to import that truck. We in the US are all bellyaching about gas prices but you guys really have it bad.
Cheers.
