Nice. Need to look at having mine done and nice to know the hesitation can be sorted.

They’ve manufactured a very solid, well machined blanking plate, with slits in it rather than holes, so it can be removed easily, should it need to be. I swear it sounds better already. It had a 215 all Motorway journey home, and my overall average mpg went from 24.2 to 28,3. I was constantly checking the acceleration from 60, and 70, both hard and soft to see whether there was any hesitation or sluggish pickup. None. The bottom end Torque is now 800Nm, with the Bhp standing at 389.

Did they diagnose the cause of the 'suicide hesitation' and 'ecu strangulation' ? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Even in stock form they have spectacular acceleration above the national speed limit (so I've been told) but a word of warning as it's also been suggested the engine uses EGR not just for emissions but also to control the combustion temps under very high load to prevent melted pistons. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Ive read all sorts of smoke n mirrors about this issue. Most of it put about by people who basically don’t understand basic physics and mechanics.

EGR gases are introduced into the cylinders to lower combustion temperatures. This is to reduce Nitrogen dioxide emissions. It's also been used on petrol turbocharged cars for a long time to reduce preignition via combustion temperature control. Combustion temps go too high and puff goes you pistons - that's your basic physics and mechanics. Now obviously to do this on a 4.4 you would have to be running at max power for a while which is highly unlikley on UK roads. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

It’s impressive getting to that sort of speed on the nightmare known as the a12 any time between 6am and 9pm! |
