Stephan works at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Maddogracingsouthafrica\/\">Mad Dog Racing<\/a> in South Africa and swapped the diesel for a twin-turbo 6.4 L Hemi V8. The motor features forged rods and pistons, Turbosmart ProGate50 external wastegates, custom exhaust, and Link Thunder G4 ECU. Behind the Hemi is a NAG1 722.6 five-speed automatic transmission running a <a href=\"https:\/\/ofgear.dk\">OFGear TCU<\/a>. The Amarok still runs factory brakes and suspension.
