 Twin Turbo Systems manufactured by Design, Development & Manufacture
 (International) PTY. LTD. (DDMI) of 1 Elizabeth Street, Hawthorn Vic. 3122,
 have been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle

 Model—Year       Twin Turbo System .                 Components

 1986—93               300 HP                Two Garrett Airesearch T—25

DDMI                                                        EXECUTIVE ORDER D—321
                                                            (Page 2 of 3)



This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for
the 300, 375 & 450 HP Twin Turbo Systems will not recommend tuning the
vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by DDMI.

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the 300, 375 & 450 HP
Twin Turbo Systems, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely
affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall
invalidate this Executive Ordéer.

Marketing of the 300, 375 & 450 HP Twin Turbo Systems using any
identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of
the 300, 375 & 450 HP Twin Turbo Systems for an application other than those
listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is
obtained from the Air Resources Board.  Exemption of the 300, 375 & 450 HP
Twin Turbo Systems shall not be construed as exemption to sell, offer for
sale, or advertise any component of the kit as an individual device.

This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the
use of these 300, 375 & 450 HP Twin Turbo Systems may have on any warranty
either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

This Executive Order is grantéed based on results from emissions tests
conducted in accordance with Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure.
However,   the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of
the 300, 375 & 450 HP Twin Turbo Systems may adversely affect emissions of
motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the
previously prescribed test procedures.  Accordingly, the ARB reserves the
right to conduct additional emission tests, in the future, as such tests are
developed, that will more adequately measure emissions from all cycle
phases.    If such test results demonstrate that the 300, 375 & 450 HP Twin
Turbo Systems adversely affect emissions during off—cycle conditions
{(defined as those conditions which are beyond the parameters of the Cold—
Start CVS—75 Federal Test Progedure), this Executive Order shall be
effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated.
Further, if such test results or other evidence provides the ARB with reason
to suspect that the 300, 375 & 450 HP Twin Turbo Systems will affect the
durability of the emission control system, DDMI shall be required to submit
durability data to show that the durability of the vehicle emission control
system is not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modifiedpart
demonstrates adequate durability.

In addition to the foregoing, the ARB reserves the right in the future to
review this Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that
the exempted add—on or modified part continues to meet the standards and
procedures of Title 13,   California Code of Regulations,   Section 2222, et
seq.                                              .


DDMI               —                                    EXECUTIVE ORDER D—321

THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION,
APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF RENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF
CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—~POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED
BENEFITS OF DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT & MANUFACTURE (INTERNATIONAL) PTY. LTD.‘S
300, 375 & 450 HP TWIN TURBO SYSTEMS.                .

No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board" may be
made with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other
oral or written communication.

Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of
this order.  The order may be revoked only after ten day written notice of
intention to revoke the order, in which period the holder of the order may
request in writing a hearing to contest the proposed revocation.  If a
hearing is requested, it shall be held within ten days of receipt of the
request and the order may not be revoked until a determination after hearing
that grounds for revocation exist.
