    Thanks. Certainly not consistent with my experience. My 90 spends a fair amount of time towing this (with ~300+kw atw more than the 90) on a tandem trailer;



    Plus, 200ltr of race fuel, tools, 4 spare wheels & tyres etc etc etc. It pulls away strongly and has a very linear power delivery.

    That is a very impressive engine bay.

    Mind posting some of the specs.

    I personally have never driven/ been in a BD car just read things about them.

    TD5 power up

    I put in an EGR bypass kit and I would do it again but I can't honestly say that I felt any gain in driveability or power. I'd do it again because I can't see any sense in putting exhaust back into the engine.

    HOWEVER, I've also got a Tombie2 re-map and the difference in performance was astounding to say the least !!!!!! I tow a trailer and I've gone from Mr Plod to Captain Lightfoot !

    For my money, if you are looking for a step-change in performance you can't go past a re-map as a first step. Whatever improvement you get from doing other things will not compare.

    [I've now also installed an EGT gauge which is essential once you've re-mapped no matter whose re-map it is.]

    No matter what the problem - there's a solution. You've just got to find it.

    thanks rangieman, is there a particular brand/supplier you would recommend for the EGR bypass kit? That price seems really good for the hoses, is there a website for them?

    Good tip on the EGT there are a few different gauges etc I want to put in. I'll definitely get in touch with Tombie2
