Well....what are you expecting me to say? It's better than all the others?? ...well that's your judgement now..........I've made mine 8)
Initial impressions..."Rocket" is a word that would feature strongly Ken was sitting in the passenger seat.....he was crying and he wanted to get out
Full report soon
Same impression here, initial lag is gone, lots of power, overtaking on the motorway while towing a tintent was a breeze, even outran a cry-enne at the traffic lights whith my tintent attached 8) The driver was visibly annoyed
I have no way of comparing it with other remaps, but I am quite happy with this one. 2006 Zermatt Silver TDV6 'SE' Auto, Mantec sump guard, Frontrunner roofrack, Lightforce 140s, split charge system and... a Jetboil.

Sure... but he may not have actually installed it in his own D3 - but as you all seem to know then

Cheers guys
Good to get some independent feedback, and yes, it can only be subjective unless you want to spend a fortune having various remaps installed on the same vehicle...
Simon, I have remaps available for manual & automatic transmission variants should you want to increase the perma-
DG got the 'extra speed boost map' - well it must have been as It was compiled @ 90mph-ish on the French motorways 8)
So, if anyone wants remapping on a weekend, bank holiday, or outside their country of residence....

TFC, I know it's all subjective, but could the TDV6 maps be compared to the petrol V8 as a kind of common reference point for people? Or are the torque curves just too dissimilar?Dr. Ian Malcolm:

Transgenic tomato anyone?

And what are the likely downsides if any for additional engine wear, oil consumption etc etc ?
Only asking as this has never really been talked about properly regards re maps...
