Thread: RRS TDV8

I go from a Mini Clubman JCW to my Discovery 4 fairly often and I don't ever feel that the D4 needs a chip. I am constantly amazed at how well it goes.

I am sure someone out there will take your money for a performance upgrade.

Has anyone had a TDV8 chipped if so what have the results been and what was the cost.

Results ...I'd say you'd have to hang on to the steering wheel really tightly. Cost....possibly lots of speeding tickets
cheers

There's one or two threads on the subject if you have a squiz, most ppl seem happy if that's their leaning - I think typically 225 - 30 kW and 700ish nm IIRC?

Peter comes to Aust every few weeks and does ecu remaps...did my 2012 v6 and also did a v8 diesel while he was at my place, the owner was blown away at the difference ...as was i with mine...
Actually had a go with a landcruiser v8 td today and beat him at four sets of lights ....and he was definately trying looking at the black smoke coming out the back of his LOL

Thanks Prokiwi I will have a look at the superchip site.
Mowog I am not trying to say i don't like the power or preformance of my TDV8 its just the Audi is such a quick car I really notice it when i change over.

You will never get a diesel 2.5 tonne 4WD to drive like an Audi S5. Not even a TDV8. Yes, many people have chipped them, but there seems to be anecdotal evidence that the 3.6 ltr TDV8 doesn't handle chipping as well as the 2.7 or 3.0 ltr engines, so I'd keep that in mind.

In the end they're very different cars, made for very different styles of driving.

Cheers,

Gordon
