Thread: Engine chipping for '99 Td5

Yes I beleave early (I think pre 02) td5s have a ecu which can't be remaped or flash tuned (ie. pluged into a computer and have the ecu reprogramed to manage the engine diferently)

Your ecu will have a fixed memory.

I think it can be reprogramed by phisicly changing some things in the ecu (soldering in some new parts) but who does this I'm not to sure.

Bigger intercoolers, ehausts and turbos (or more boost ie. Boost box) will also give the td5 more power but retuning is the only way to make full use of these mods.

Google is your friend or talk to somone who knows a thing or two about tuning td5s

Josh,
you have two options,
TRS in SA do and exchange ecu to suit your D2 or you can purchase a later model ecu and buy a remap from BAS or TD5 inside


have a read of these threads, there lots more info on this topic if you do a search.

Hi

I have a 99 TD5 D2 "Strap on" from PSI Motorsport in Belgium with what is perhaps the latest programme. All it requires is finding the 5 injector wires and soldering in in any order. Strap on sorts them out. Power and earth of course.

PSI motorsport : Diesel Tuning : PowerBox

or see the Word doc

I also have an earlier eprom as spare.

This makes a 99 D2 really Boogie more so with an auto switched to "sport"

If you are interested let me know.

Cheers
