I have a 3.2t van and Man U can feel tg weight comparing to my last 2.3t van . Massive difference . Also what do u think about transmitting cooler upgrade option as DPL has a kit which they develop with PWR for D4 ? I am sure I am gonna go ahead with remapping and I will update here soon .

Also I don't want to see more smoke after remap . I hate smoke from cars ....

Cheers

I haven't noticed any extra smoke, it did help with the lag on mine(2.7l) did completely get rid of it, but it's a hell of a lot better than it was, very drivable now, I haven't thought about the cooler upgrade, our camper is only 1.5t, so I don't think it needs it.

You should speak to Bruce, he's pretty easy to talk to.

Tow my caravan over the weekend it feels effortlessly compare to my last outing how ever I do see smoke underload though . Switch to s mode and kept the revs higher the smoke situation is better . Only had the car back for a week so will see how it goes

Interested to know if you had a choice of mapping done by Bruce for your vehicle.

Emm so you could purchase a TDV6 and then get it mapped to a SDV6 map or what ever map you choose?
