Have you modified it at all? if it has a straight through center pipe, and egr delete, theres a bloke called Dynachip with a very good rep who can tweak it to 170ish. With a big intercooler, variable boost turbo, and a stronger manifold I believe you can go to about 240.

I have a 110 van type and wanted to build some form of wood chip catching box in the rear so i dont need to take 2 vehicles and a trailer for smaller jobs. 

 

Idea is to remove rear glass and fab some kind of panel that will open then some form of box that will run in the central part of the boot to catch the chips. Then have a couple of eyelets so once back at the yard i can attatch to a pole drive off and all the chip is pulled out with the box/tray.

 

Thoughts??

Sounds a bit bonkers at first sight but interesting idea as I also have 110 hard top. Not going to get a huge amount of chip in but as you say for smaller jobs may be ok.

So far my solution to all this is have a big trailer and a small chipper, can get a few cube in there with the chipper. Just sometimes in town wish the trailer was smaller too.

What are you going to chip with? If it's a tow-behind then it's going to have a lot of blow so it'll be hard to stop the cab getting covered in chip as well, I'm thinking floor to ceiling gaps all sealed.

Problem that door isn't that big too. Can you get wheelie bins small enough to roll in? Could chip into a couple and roll up ramps, might then be easier to unload.

Certainly be interested to see pics if you do it.
