    VY SS turbo Ute

    the colour is ppg rattle snake black, as for power I have a sheet here for 405rwkw but that was before the turbo 400 went in. so id say that would be robbing a little more power.

    Idle issue

    a new set of leads will get it running on 6 cylinders again, does it blow out black smoke ? like its overfueling ? possibly coolant temp sensor, or cas but youve said you replaced that. also have you done a basic service on it ? fuel filter, air filter, etc.
