Hello All
I was wondering, I tow a caravan with a 2000 disco TD5, it seems to struggle to get up & go from junctions, traffic lights & stuff. but once the Turbo kicks in (seems to be 2500ish RPM) it's not too bad. my question is can the Turbo be adjusted to come in at a lower RPM ? if so is it a DIY job or will the Disco need an ECU re-map or garage only adjustment.
any help with this would be a real help

No it needs the exhaust gas pressure to spin it up so there's not much you can do with

A remap will make a difference as they can alter throttle response fuel and air mix etc.

A remap can give you a bit more power low down as said above, if you really want some low end kick (thought I wouldn't have thought it necessary with a TD5) you could get a very costly hybrid turbo. But if it was me, I'd buy a plug in power chip or have a remap, buy a high flow air filter and a straight through mid pipe exhaust section to remove one of the silencers. Together those things should give you the bit of power you need.

Cleaning the MAP sensor can often make a big difference. I can always tell when mine is getting gunked up due to sluggishness
