That's interesting Kam. Ours has only done 3k tops. So it loosens up considerably after 10k or so? Might wait a bit longer before committing Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award |

Definitely! Mine's done 11k now and it's a LOT better than when it was new/breaking in/early k's. It's still no Cayenne obviously, but as long as that isn't your expectation then I'd agree with Kam... the whole chipping thing is lost on me really too and I come from a long line of quick cars, so it's not like I don't know what I'm missing. The TDV6 just doesn't need any more power in my opinion. A better reason for selling me an upgrade is the potential increase in economy, but in my book that's not worth �500.... |

Apparantly, the TDV6 had to be 'Redesigned' to suit RRS/D3 requirements. They had to move vunerable bits higher up, oil pump etc. to allow wading depth. I presume they also re-mapped the ECU to deliver power lower down for off roading. Then again, space shouldn't be an issue under the bonnet if it will fit either a 4.2 or 4.4 V8 or a V8D Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award ![]() Joint runner up - 2009 Outstanding Contribution Award ![]() WINNER - 2008 �Best Thread� Award � Beautiful Women Of The World ![]() Runner Up - 2008 Comedian Of The Year Award ![]() Runner Up - 2008�s Funniest Incident ![]() 06 RRS TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony, PTI, Running Boards, Privacy, S/C Grille/Vents, Stormers, Tasmods - GONE - ![]() |

I have been considering having a TC remap done, but since the car went away to have the brain transplant the acceleration is a lot better and the fuel consumption is getting better and better. I now have 8300 miles on it. I am still in 2 minds about having it done.

The twin-turbos weren't replaced with a single one for performance reasons. It was simply for packaging reasons.
