Hi Ozducati,
From previous threads, these seem to be as rare as hen's teeth.

I'm sure, however, that Graeme Cooper would do a custom remap for you.

Best Wishes,

I don't think the V8 can be re-mapped Sad you need to do a mechanical upgrade (S/C or sports exhaust) I think. â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games”

thanks guys, from my experience with fuel injected motors and ECU's is where there's a will there's a way.. it's just whether or not anyone has bothered to do it...

Did you ring Coopers and ask? â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games”

Instead of tracking down some sort of chip (and attendant warranty issues, etc), I just dial to Sand Mode and let rip Very Happy Jim Dowell - D4 HSE TDi, 12,000 hydraulic winch & hidden winch mount, MTRs, TyreDog, Traxide 2 x aux battery system, fixed air compressor, Dolium roof rack, MitchHitch.

spoke to the guys at Graeme Coopers today, they recommend a Haltech piggyback unit, which gives a gain of around 12% peak power, but improves torque a lot he says, and is about $1300 fitted and dyno tuned... ... now to check this other out..

thanks guys
