    Wowee!!! That's ridiculous. Did they end up making one for the Disco3 TDV6?

    If they could even get that much power out of it like they claim (which I seriously doubt), how long would an engine last before it hand-grenades itself? That's a rather expensive experiment to undertake with your pride and joy.

    Why would you need to get a power upgrade for the 3.0l SDV6 or even TDV6 3.0l, I'm fairly happy 140Kw in the 2.7L TDV6, I'd be really happy with 155Kw

    if you do all that work and spend all that money and stress the crap out of your engine then it might nearly be as quick as a bog stock standard 5.0 V8 D4. ...
    Cheers,

    Happy to stick with my SDV8, may not have the torque you are quoting but with 250kw and 700nm it will do the trick

    And not suffer from any of the likely issues from boosting torque that high either

    They could get torque higher still by using low range.

    Publishing claims like that makes them look like complete muppets.
