Wow!!!! Calm down, you came on here and asked a question, the question was answered from the guys on here with the expertise.
If you think they are wrong or you do not agree, stuff like "CBA" and "most unhelpful unfriendly forum" does nothing to help you. It will just get peoples back up.
It sounds as though it's not so much of a "Tune" as a problem you have and need to find and fix. |

I thought the point of a forum was to share experience! I asked how its turned and getting abuse for asking is a bit off, i used to own a 2.5td always thought is was a bit underpowered so i tried to get it tuned up from various motor experts (3 different ones) all saying it can't be done. I'm not saying it can't but thats what i was told so if "keep it too yourself" sherman4970 knows a way I would like too know thats all. Helpful comments like CBA just shows what hes like, give me give me give me but nothing in return, probably a grumpy old fart!!! |

I have to ask though what have you had tuned
1 Intake parts
2 exhaust parts
3 Forced Induction
4 Fuel managment
5 Ignition
Going for the basic
Replace the air inlet filter with a better one (k&N give a nice engine tone)
replace the stock exhaust and put on a sports one will help a little
Fit a EVC or replace the actuator with a stronger spring (possible engine damage)
Change the spark plugs (if petrol) which yours isnt!
Or remapping the ECU (from memory did the 2.5 have a ECU? I didn't think it did but maybe wrong)
Does that help |
