Is a triton equivalent available or lux only?

I might add that no other chips on the market have been subjected to the level of public scruitiny I have let mine be subjected to, so if it survives armchair testing by you guys, I think it can be installed with confidence. Remember we are looking at a stock motor and exhaust so it will be interesting to see what changes an air filter and exhaust will bring to the EGT's.
As regards the Air Fuel ratio, from what I have gathered from talking to all of the dyno places I rang about testing a diesel engine and as discussed in one of the links above, this is largely irrelevant on a common rail engine, the EGT reigns supreme.

Have you done any more testing as to how the temps go with the chip. Be good to see what its like with the chip on/off testing. I also am interested on the chip but as i ocassionally pull an expanda van, heading up hills can make the EGT climb very quickly and wouldn't like to be in an unsafe zone.

Normal driving around the hills of Canberra has seen it peak at about 400, normal between 250-380 degrees. The outside temps have been in the mid 30's as well
I haven't towed anything substancial as yet, but I'm guessing I won't get anywhere near 550......
the driving style will change to suit the load I'm carrying, so I wouldn't put the engine under too much strain at very low revs.
