Josh, you're a Fitter/Machinist now. So it's about time you started to learn to do things by FEEL!

No wonder youre single man. hehe

Good work!

how ya goin mate.

nah i dont mind you asking. Its one of the older style piggy back ecu style "chips" that Guy H was selling for peanuts when he was getting rid of his old stock. I got mine for $250

PM Guy, he might have some left... its definately worth every cent

UPDATE:

after a good few weeks of it installed the ECU has learnt and now the power is even stronger and smoother...

1st gear is absolutely useless unless you want wheelspin and second really slams you back in your seat, and the torque is noticably fatter in all gears and comes on lower down in the rev range..... Time for more power ?

What do you do next in a diesel? Bigger exhaust, intercooler?

yup. i want 180hp at the front wheels. when i achieve that.... more power

intake, because the stock one is restrictive, 2.5" turboback, high flow cat and muffler should increase the throttle response, i dont think a new intercooler is needed just yet.

more air + more fuel = more power is the basic principle im working off.

i'm yet to research getting big power out of the TDi, but have started now

Guy told me the std intercooler is very small and a bigger one (front mounted) will make quite a bit of a difference.

its definately on the cards it'll prob be done along with the exhaust.
