I would have have thought that with a re-map the power would have come in earlier.
I changed the MAF and fitted a Synergy and now the donkey I had before, has been reincarnated into a whole team of thoroughbreds.
Switchable to a team of Clydesdales on demand!
That's enough horse-talk.
It all depends what fuelling message the ECU sends and when the turbo comes in.
Even with the extra 'oomph' I get better mpg - but the turbo comes in much earlier about 1750rpm and really gets going around 2000rpm.
Singvogel.
I know its diverting the thread a bit with this but.
The remap was done by the previous owner and by a local reputable firm.
Having not driven the car before the mapping I can`t really comment on the difference.
Also as I have not driven any others I don`t have a benchmark.
Yesterday(hot day,aircon on) I pulled away up hill and it was as if I had the handbrake on.
It would be nice to hire a 4 wheel drive rolling road for an hour and look at the graphs.
Or maybe a get together with other freelander owners(not them rough tratter drivers) to compare notes.
Hope this make sense,I have just been outside changing the oil and crankcase breather and have got sunburn and gravel rash.:deadhorse:
