Disco intercooler upgrade
TEMPER593:
That'll be 149.85BHP and 378NM of torque then if my maths is rate!?
Not bad for an hour or twos work!!! :)
What do you get back from tuning them up then is there much difference in doin that?
Cheers TEMP
Sharpshooter:
Mine came with a sheet for the settings. And by doing tham, on average Alisport quote around 150bhp.
Range Rover Blues:
Without a rolling road how can you judge how much power you have? anyone got a 0-60 time for example?
I know our TDi was tweaked but I fitted a full width intercooler and I'm not sure it's made much difference, I thought it would smoke less for one thing, I havn't adjusted the fuel pump again since it was fitted.

I'm planning to buy a spare standard one, clean it out properly, then swap it with my (original) one. Effectively removing 115k of gunk from inside it should have a nice effect on performance and as it's merely cleaning/replacing a standard part the insurance won't go up!

noticed a question about airflow with the radiator, you will notice it will run considerably cooler anyway as a bigger intercooler takes alot of pressure off the head therefore the engine will be doing less work, therefore running cooler

Not sure I follow that logic, a bigger intercooler allows more fule to be burned, therefore more heat. On part load with lower boost you will find a bigger intercooler managed to cool the air more, lowering the air charge temperature which does help the engine stay cool when cruising. The downside is this effect increases thermal shock around the valve gear.
