1:19Marty introduces his Mitsubishi Pajero iO at the SuperGarage workshop.
7:41The bonnet reveal shows a swapped engine, TD04 turbocharger and Haltech PS1000 engine computer.
14:19Scotty checks the older ECU's fuel maps and ignition settings before testing.
18:37The first dyno run reveals lean running at higher revs, prompting fuel-map adjustments.
21:15Increasing ignition-coil charge time resolves a misfire; subsequent timing changes bring output to 104.8 kW.
26:30Marty and MOOG assess performance and handling on the road before discussing the unanswered purchase-price question.

"Why didn't you start with this video saying it was turbocharged?" MOOG asks Marty. It's a reasonable question: the new Mighty Car Mods purchase has rather more going on beneath its bonnet than its modest Pajero iO body suggests.

The reveal has drawn about 150,000 views within its first 11 hours. Billed in the title as the "WORLD'S BEST 4x4 EVER MADE", Marty's Mitsubishi gets an introduction that mixes workshop teasing with a proper investigation of what he's bought.

First comes a yellow ramp. Marty struggles to get the Pajero onto it, giving MOOG an opening to demonstrate how easily a little Daihatsu Mira can manage the same obstacle. It's not quite the commanding off-road debut the title promises.

Under the bonnet, though, there is something worth investigating: a swapped engine, a TD04 turbo Marty identifies as coming from a WRX, and an older Haltech engine computer. The tidy interior also carries evidence of the previous owner's DIY work.

At Haltech, tuner Scotty works through the details rather than simply chasing a bigger power reading. He adjusts the fuel map to address lean running at higher revs, then changes the ignition-coil charge time to clear a misfire. Further ignition adjustment brings the output to around 140 horsepower.

Viewers are picking out both halves of the episode: the ramp mishap and the conversation between Marty and Scotty about the tune. Once the Pajero is back on the road, MOOG has another question that proves harder to resolve than the misfire: how much did Marty pay? Marty prefers to talk about the experience.
