After hammering a manual 3.2 BT50 during the day for work and quite a few weekends away over the last twelve months ( prior to the Disco arriving) the Disco really does need more torque.

You could always tweak the waste gate Rick thats good for a couple of Nm.
Any mod you do to these exhaust , egr , ect they will respond even if it is every so lightly but it all adds up[thumbsupbig]
But yes bang for buck this is a good one[thumbsupbig]

Does yours feel stronger/ more torquey kelvo?

Not a massive difference using my arse dyno.

But the power delivery is smoother, and EGTs slightly lower. I'm running 18-19psi boost. The real test will be in a few weeks when I'll be towing the 1500Kg camper around the Pilbara.

On a standard tune the difference in power/torque would probably be felt.

The wife has driven it today and made no mention on it going any better, or worse. As far as she knows I just carried out an oil/filter change on it.

She noticed a big difference when I put the Td5 Inside map on, again without her knowing what I had done.

Thanks ,Yep , a big difference would be felt if the old turbo was worn as well , at least they seem to be more efficient at higher boost levels and as mentioned, every bit helps, biggest bang for buck is a decent remap, I'll be running 22 psi when car comes back on Friday and report back

Well, here's the word from Wardies girlie Td5.
Just did a bowser to bowser run of 1502 km. This included suburban stuff , the run up to and back to WWB7 and a run to Geelong and back today.
Now I've enjoyed Eco around 10/100 in the past, but get this.......
8.2/100!
Now I've double and triple checked this as I didn't believe it myself. Filled at the same bowser, from the same side at similar temps and there it is. I'm absolutely stoked. More power and less fuel. Can't wait for the remap in a couple of weeks........ Catch me if you can[emoji23]

Oh..... I was towing about 1300kg up and back toWWB7 as well
