So it would seem that 28 mpg is achievable - but not at the same time as 0 - 60 in 7.4 seconds.

LRTuning has previously quoted a reduction of 1.5 + seconds off the 8.6 standard 0-60 time, so Nick's 7.4 seconds also appears achievable.

I do wish Nick would come back and defend his own corner after posting performance gains for TC products. We haven't heard too much from LRTuning recently either.  Gone - 2008 TDV8, Stornoway Grey, ebony, zabrano trim, TV, Tasmods, mudflaps.

Best 0-60 was 7.7 secs. 0-100 was 21.7 secs. 30-50 took 3 secs. 50-70 took 2.7 secs.

Certainly a reason to consider changing from a D3

MPG is not yet known for any distance. Original figure was 23.4mpg on the meter. I will ask him later what the change in MPG works out to.

Bet its worse with what you were up to

Must go do a 0-60 in mine again

Never believed 7.5 struggling to believe 7.7

What method were you using "ie" sand mode or foot on brake with power etc.  SDV8 vogue SE.

Tasmod.

Perfect thanks.

I can't see me holding on to the brakes and winding her up just to get .5 of a sec off 0-60 in the real world

I know exactly what you mean about the "STUMBLE" I am convinced that is why mine is no quicker off the block from a standard TDV8.

Your test pilot is NEVER going to get 28 mpg over 500 miles

Yes, thanks Tasmod - very informative.  Gone - 2008 TDV8, Stornoway Grey, ebony, zabrano trim, TV, Tasmods, mudflaps.

So, can someone tell me, for chipping a TDV8 at Turbochip, is this only available as a download or can you have a "plug in box" type one, so you can remove it before it goes in for a service, etc!

Its just that ive heard that when the dealers download new software/do recalls/do services, etc, they will wipe any reprogramming away and it will need to be re-downloaded again, every time this happens??????

Turbo chip is straight in the ECU no external boxes .

If you are really unlucky and LR remap the engine ecu you get a special number for a low rate remap

From what I gather they do not remap as a matter of course. So you would be "Unlucky" if they did.  SDV8 vogue SE.
