There is also like my MY10 "TDV6" 3.0 which is the SDV6
Not confusing at all hey?

Yep hence the title TDV6 - SDV6 3.0L Power

in my day job, I can sell you a 500 hp Cummins truck engine all the way up too 600 hp, it's the same engine with no hardware changes at all, they hook a lap top to them, pay the money and give you the HP setting you want.

I'm guessing the entry level 3 litre engine is the same as the full power version, just a software change?

What is the Difference with regards to components from the TDV6 to SDV6 ?
I have a 2013 TD and would like more toque I have hit up LR and I know the following

Turbos -the same
Injectors -the same
Compression -the same
Engine -the same
Intake -the same
Exhaust -the same

All we can see is different in the mapping has anyone else managed to get a tune done or have an explanation as to what the go is and how we go about upping the power.

There is a setting in the vehicle configuration via a Nanocom etc for "Engine Output" with dropdown options of 155kw and 180kw. I have always wondered if changing from tdv6 to sdv6 was that simple???

Unfortunately it's not quite that simple...

Change it to a V8...
