Re: Expected life of EGT Sensor

Any damage to the turbo ??

I Got a 96 Gen 2 pajero for sale soon, its got the 3.5L non GDI V6 in it, and a huge transcooler. Tows extremely well. leather seats etc. with a limited slip in the back and 35's it would go pretty well, although you would need to do a bit of a lift or something to get them underneath.
