Emissions, they have to comply with really strict emissions on regulated tests. So they are forced to map it for clean exhaust and that sometimes/usually sacrifices drive-ability. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Often dis-cussed is the manufacturers write into the ecu safeguards to protect the engine in the instance servicing routine isn't strictly adhered too. Also they can increase service intervals by not tuning the engine to deliver all it can. I have had my last three cars re-mapped with no issues. I am meticulous with service regime though, I would normally change the oil and filters every 6k miles.
I will let you know how it goes fo me, I'm at the mercy of the postal system.

OK I guess that settles it, I'll have to go for it then, the idea of 800Nm of torque is strangely appealing, just hope I don't mess up the planet...

Had a dispatch notification.
With any luck tomorrow I'll be having my own episode of Top Gear in the FF....
Clarkson-esque: POWWWERRRRRR!!!!
I can imagine straight lines are going to be big smiles.
Meanwhile corners will remain errmm, 'interesting'

Yousif, offset your fuel use by switching a couple of bulbs to energy saving ones.
Then remind yourself when it all matters you probably won't be here....

I just ordered one toooo. Solo excited! I wonder if it makes it faster low end than a supercharged

<chuckle> It's much better than standard that's all I'm going to say  Land Rover Addict

Uploaded the map, will have to wait for the test drive As I'm up at 3.15 for Olympic duties.

Ignore the knocking and huge cloud on initial startup.....

If that happens of course, it did on mine, then smooth as silk  Land Rover Addict

Well so far so good, I usually only drive gently but it is good to know the power is there if/when I need it and it does seem to be there

Fuel consumption will have to wait, testing performance isn't conducive to getting good fuel consumption.

However it does seem to be livelier, is it worth it - I think so, but I can't be bothered sending it back anyway  Geoff

should we start a splinter group ....remapped RR.....RRR

Or we should all have waited and done a group deal with Superchips, but I rather suspect that train has left the station! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Just to highlight that the standard map as supplied with the Bluefin device for the TDV8 might work better on some cars than on others. I had mine mapped by Evolution chips and the orginal map that was supposed to be suited to most TDV8's made the car run like a dog. Once I contacted them they supplied another map and this time the car was amazing to drive smoother with more power etc. So if some of you are doubtful the map has made a difference this might be the case and I would suggest contacting Superchips as they are likely to have other maps available for the TDV8 which might better suit your car.  Present :2008 TDV8 HSE
