I did read something about these somewhere. Are they a do it yourself thing? Might need to find out a bit more about them but any chance you can summarise the benefit?Quote:

Is there an option to create your own maps?
And as I'm deciding between the 8 and td is it the same situation as far as tuning options?
Does anyone know the origin of the remap that Davis Performance Landys does?

Distance is no barrier for creating tuned remaps, it's as easy as sending and receiving an email.
Only if you really know what you are doing would you experiment with creating your own tunes.
In regard to the EGR blanking ( Exhaust Gas Recirculation) The EGR valves tends to contribute to the overall build up of gunk through out the intake and exhaust system. Many have had issues with EGR valves seizing and staying open resulting in a loss of power under acceleration.Quote:

With these fitted your engine remains looking standard.

With these you actually remove some pipework either side of the engine.
Here is info on MAP sensor: ( I cleaned mine with electrical contact cleaner, be careful NOT to poke anything down the hole) People have different results depending on the amount of gunk deposited on the sensor. What I noticed was how my fuel economy improved. Others got better performance.

So is there software available to tune either the 8 or the td6?
Personally I would not put a generic tune in any car, but if that was the only option I'd be playing on the dyno to test it properly.
I did some homework on the tunes for a TDV8 / TCV6 purchase (got the TDV8) anf Superchip do a re-flash for both. The before/ after on the V8 is phenomenal.
Look them up on the web.

The results look ok and there are people in Aus who do them for around $700ish
Anyone care to guess at the relative merits of the bluefin v. autologic remaps? Similar performance gains,easily removed and re-installable v. presumably more bespoke?
I don't think autologic is any more bespoke.
