thinking of changing the disco for a defender

Howdy,
A properly tuned TD5 Defender will smash any TDi. No question.
Look at TD5Alive and TD5Inside. There quite a few options in tuning the Defender. Lots on the forum about tunes.

The TD5 engine is very easy to safely get additional power from.

I run a TD5Inside tune and straight through 2.5" exhaust. Makes it far more pleasant to drive.

Cheers,
Michael

Thanks again.

Short answer - Yes.

The tuning a fuel map is more flexible than tweaking a pump. If you chip a TD5 budget for an exhaust and intercooler. A chipped TD5 gets hot.

I currently run a td5 inside map in my disco now. Would I be right assuming the disco and defender td5 would make the same power re mapped?

thanks.

Same power yes, just diferent ways of feeling it, because disco transfer box its longer and disco is 400 kg heavier than the defender :)

Love them both :)
