As far as I aware, to get a 3.0l remapped, the ECU needs to come out and bench mapped(ie) they'll need your ECU to remap it, I wouldn't be comfortable sending it over to the UK and back would you?


I see you're in Sydney, Davis Performace Landy do remaps for the D4, both the 2.7l and 3.0l, would probably work out cheaper too, we just had our 2.7l done by DPL, goes really well, even the fuel economy's down a tad.

Alive tuning is a tuning house I think base in us ?

Google alive running u will see fair few results .

I think the emphasis was on a customised tune done on a dyno, specific to the customer's car, versus a general map loaded via a diagnostic writer. This is how we'd do all the race cars when we replaced the ECU for an aftermarket, using knock headphones and wideband air/fuel ratio monitoring tools.

Alive Tuning used to be TD5 Alive, and yes is UK based,apparently got his start with Bell Auto Services (partners I think) Tombie might confirm that.

Bruce does his own remapping now, but started with Bell Auto Services.

Most maps are to suit your needs, towing, moderate, fast but keep or the better economy, OMG it's fast, and so on, basically tell your needs and he'll create a map to suit.
