Hi guys contemplating getting the sport remapped is it worth it whats peoples thoughts and results power against economy etc and cost ..

Rob Live life to the full its the only one your getting.

Best thing you can do to a TDV8

If I drive as I did before there is no reduction in mpg.

However the noise when you plant the right foot means I don't see the same mpg anymore

Really good feedback on here if you search about forum sponsors BAS and Alive tunning and I think someone on here recently got a remap at AMD with good results too.

For me the biggest gain is in the 40-70 accelration time. It just keeps pulling

Oh and did I mention the sound  TDV8 now with extra grin factor thanks to Alive Tunning: Gone but not forgotten

In what way is the sound different like ?? Live life to the full its the only one your getting.

slightly more turbo whine but that might be due to my K & N Air filter...

Otherwise totally the same (noise wise)

Go wise they are like chalk and cheese, much less throttle needed to really bowl along  RRS gone

you should seriously consider doing the decat at the same time as the remap- replace the cats with free-flow mufflers. It really makes the most amazing improvement to the turbo-lag.

agreed, but in Africa we have no such thing as an MOT.

Wish we did cos it would keep the scary old bangers off the road

get rid of that CAT then

be careful though the noise may be too loud if on longer journeys but depends on what you want. I wanted a balance between performance and sound and leaving the CAT in A1.

Let us know what you do? TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

your neighbors must love you

Sounds great, but I bet in real life it is better. The mic on the video camera and the PC speakers can't reproduce the deep tones.

I took a few vids of ours, but to be honest, they were crap. My nephew has a professional camera, will ask him to do a vid for us.

Your camera-person is a cutey I like the commentary she must think we are all weirdo's

she is and she does

it was recorded on my iPhone so sound quality no were near the real life version. TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx
