I still do not understand your thinking behind adjusting the boost pressure for a cold start issue?
The turbo boost pressure has no effect on the cold starting of a diesel engine what ever its location in the world.
Having worked on diesels vehicles in the U.K for 10 years and in Canada for 7 years and never had to adjust boost pressure to cure a cold start issue i can not understand why you would suggest this as a cure.
As the O.P lives in Victoria i can not see elevation being his problem as Victoria must be around the same elevation as Vancouver give or take a few feet.
Good luck in finding a cure for this problem and i hope you post up your findings as i am sure the are many people who will be very interested in the results.

Good to know about the difference in the Hyundai glow plugs from someone who has first hand experience with them.
1mm difference in tip length is not that critical.

This is not important to the operation of the plug; it is the length of the piece sticking *into* the engine that you really need to be concerned about, and the two were virtually the same, only about 1mm longer on the Hyundai plug.
Hi Tony, I was just aboaut to bring this up. We compared the two before the first install of the hyndai plug. Also the glo plug is right on top of the prechamber.

Hi,
We mentioned earlier this and our Hyundai genuine 11V glow plug's merit.
Check this out.

We have used these 11V Hyundai glow plugs to our stock Spacegears for the last one and half years with good response.

Old thread, but worth to read again.
Here are quick answer for our 11V Hyundai glow plug application.
Many delica owners still ask us through phone for our 11V Hyundai glow plugs whether fitting to 4M40 engine.
You may get all answers if you read all post in this topic.

1. In the early model ( before Aug 1993 ) delica L300 and Pajero with perfect working control system with 6.2V , our 11V Hyundai glow plugs basically do not work.
In this case, we would recommend to use original Mitsubishi glow plugs into your perfect working system.

2. If you have a manual control system in your 6.2V system due to whatever reasons , 11V Hyundai ones work and fit good.

3. Our 11V glow plugs work excellent for all 4M40 engine and late model L300 and pajero ( 4D56 ).

Hope this helps to understand our 11V glow plug application.

Sale price for set of 4 ( 1 Box ) ; $140 plus applicable tax ( regular ; $160 ).
1 year product warranty provided, on the condition if your control system work perfect.
