Well to be fair, even a standard Tdi can eat R380's....Why would it eat an R380? They are rated to 380nm, 277ft/lb is 375nm close but should just last, for a bit

I'd say swapping in one of those over a Td5 would be a lot of work and a lot of ££££, for very little gain, maybe no real world gain. Td5 is likely to be able to make more PEAK power when tuned too.

I bought a 2.8 for the 101, back when you could get one new for about 2x the cost of a used 300.
But m&d wants about 7k plus vat for them now! Would be an expensive conversion...
I fitted it as it seemed cost effective against a used 300 (again, at the time) and also because it was fully mechanical.
Seems like a strange swap for a TD 5 though, unless you have a specific reason.
