Can you give us an idea on price, just ben a mates with the twisted stuff on it and it goes like stink !

Depends who you talk to.....
The earlier ECU's aren't flash programmable, as the chips inside can only be written once. With these ECU's you physically need to change one of the chips inside... then fit a new chip which is programmed with the new 'map' :wink:
Twisted stuff.... hrrmmm.... more plug in boxes and not the best driveability!
Price... you have a pm :wink:

Hi Chris,
I had Porny do my TD5 and it is superb!!! I had a not too hot chip in mine at 1st. Had him take a look, did some diagnostics and re-tune and its superb.
Top of the range tune, easy beat JE/Jeremy Fearn/Allisport/will definitely make Twisted performance seem naff(Ive tried them ALL) , top equipment, top bloke! :)
I have a 2000 TD5 soldered in chip. Anyone can make a TD5 go fast but tuning is a delicate and complex process if you are to do it safely and efficiently. Seriously, I would get rid of that hideous and scary sounding plug in box now.

if it was a soldered in chip thats not the best way to do it,
Porny knows the crack :roll:
Also would you be willing to put your money where your mouth is & come to the rolling road day that im organising & put your vehicle against some of the above companys :wink:

"if it was a soldered in chip thats not the best way to do it"
I agree. FLash programming is cleaner, in some cases undetectable(depending on the tuner), easier to reverse.
But how else do you chip a 2000 TD5 non flashable ecu. You cant flash program it. Soldering in IS THE ONLY WAY to do it. It was done with a SMD Rework Station 968.
---------------------------
As for the performance against other companys. If its near enough Im in ;-) I am aware of 230 BHP tunes for defenders out there, however its black smoke at the ready and diffs are rated to 200BHP. Id say mine was 195BHP-200BHP (I would think) I dont think theres much to gain from these 230bhp plug in box tunes. As for my TD5 she has....
- EGR removed
-Allisport intercooler
- Silicon hoses
- Remap chip (obviously)
-K&N air filter
- Straight through exhaust (a sports would be nice but no £ at the mo!)
I would hope Propane injection vehicles would be excluded I hope! :shock: :P hehe

The original chip is de-soldered, and a socket is put in its place... then chips can in theory be changed at will - without anymore soldering.
I know a couple of places directly solder in the new 're-programmed' chip... but this is definitely not the best way :shock:
If you wanted to be bling, you could fit an later EU3 flash ECU and flash it with a custom written EU2 map (which is what Autologic do AFAIK).. But the extra cost of a new ECU is unnecessary IMHO, and you won't gain anything over running a EU2 ECU... apart from a lighter wallet.
