Don't cross the Bell Auto Services (BAS) map off your list - it is very popular on the UK Disco 3 site and it is programmed specifically for your need, it is not a one map fits all approach that most do.

we I'mn not ready to purchase anything yet, looking at options. Trouble is I really don't know what I need except, more power, more torque, hopefully get rid of the sluggishness off the mark / turbo lag and improve fuel economy without risking the engine!

Not much to risk for!

While power and torque are linked - to over simplify the issue, power determines top speed and torque determines acceleration and pulling power - so what you perceive as power is really torque - so when mapping for a road car you really need the map to concentrate on increasing torque - normally about 20kph around your normal overtaking speed.

As far as the sluggishness/turbo lag is concerned - try driving in command shift and see if you have the same issue - with my car it is virtually gone indicating to me it is gearbox programming rather than engine management. Reports have getting your gearbox software updated can make things better.

Improved fuel economy - you are a hard task master - you are pulling around 2.6 tonnes I am getting around 10.5l/100km and about 8 on the highway and 12 pulling a camper - and you want more

. Well most people report increased fuel consumption because they use the increased performance - it is only those who drive as they did before who do better but then that defeats the purpose of the map in the first place.

Who does the Autologic or the BAS remaps in Perth?

**~Rich~** · 3rd October 2012, 10:46 AM

Autologic is usually done by a LR specialist and not by a dealer!

BAS Remaps are available worldwide!
Purchase one from Pete Bell here:

Remaps can be done at Franzone Motors - I believe they use AutoLogic

Mate I am considering this option. How is it working for you? Mine is a MY08 D3 2.7 TDV6

cheers

Still happy with the Bluefin.
I went Bluefin because it was a lot cheaper (direct from UK) than the BAS one.
The advantage of BAS though is it is a fault code reader as well.
Interesting you can get a Bluefin for the 3.0L SDV6 but it needs the ECU to be enabled to take the bluefin device. This has to be done by their nearest tech who is from NZ.

But he regularly comes to OZ to service and program.
