    Chip My Diesel, any experiences?

    Hi all, was talking to a guy today who has one of these modules in his 2.7 D4.
    Land Rover Discovery TDV6 Diesel Chip Tuning by ChipMyDiesel - Performance, Power & Economy

    Their explanatory PDF [ame]http://www.chipmydiesel.com/pdf/tech.pdf[/ame]

    Has anyone got any experience with them? Are they just a crappy signal modifier that tricks the ECU? Any inherent dangers etc?

    He seems happy, had it for about 3 months. Reasonably inexpensive too.
    Regards, Will

    Don't mean to be a smart a#*se but I thought the main difference between petrol and diesel was the fuel type.

    A petrol to air mix of 1:1 is not right either!

    Will - you're much better off getting a BAS or Bluefin remap interface. BAS is more expensive - especially when Superchips have a 25% off sale (usually at the end of the year, like when I got mine). The usual price at Australian distributor is less than $700 for Bluefin, and a bit more for BAS.

    For cars out of warranty, it is not such a big deal to get the interface - as it is less likely that your factory map will get updated and overwritten by dealers.

    Unless you're towing, I don't see the point personally.

    Maybe

    I only chipped the D2 because it struggled to tow our camper once we added the larger tyres, and all the other stuff, we also had the daughter and 2 dogs as well and all their gear

    We have room and power to burn now

    Every thing is a compromise, I am happy to stick with he the LR engineers compromise.
    Why risk increasing combustion temperatures etc and resultant lower engine life for a bit of extra power?
