Hi there mate i work for mitsubushi mate and ive fitted the power upgrades to the L200s. To be honest you carnt really tell that much different. There is a bit more torque though the gears and thats it really. Have you had the pas pump recall bracket done yet. The bracket cracks causing the pas belt to get thrown off.

There isnt much you can do to make there go any better to be honest. I like the shape you have better than the new shape.

I had one fitted to my 52 plate Shogun Sport and took it off when i sold it, felt flat as fuck without it so they do make quite a difference i reckon. Put it on ebay thinking would get around 150 quid for it, sold for 360 !!!!

i used to work for the north city dealer i found that the power up grades used to kill the bottom ends. we went through a stage where all we seemed to do was change short blocks under warinty

would not want to cash out on one.

also the bonnet catch recall was a good one if you havent had it done i would not worry just dont pop ya bonnet wild driving
