Powerchip have a chip for the TD5. It should increase your TD5's power from 101kw to 127kw.

Has anyone installed one of these in a D2? Just curious if it is worth the cash.

chips = voided warranty?

Not sure if this has been beaten into the ground yet, but I'm new so here goes:

Aftermarket chips will likely void any factory/aftermarket warranty on engine, exhaust components etc. I'm active on an Audi forum and chipping is pretty popular (makes sense due to the high number of turbo Audis) and the consensus is that engine trouble + chip = denied warranty claims.

Audi chips are not soldered to the ECU and can be removed fairly easily. Therefore, if you got a CEL it was simple to swap the aftermarket chip for the factory one when you go in for service. In fact, some people just get two ECUs because they're even easier to swap out.

It's worth considering if you are still under a warranty.

I looked on the powerchip site and it doesnt look like it adds that much extra oomph for the money or can you really tell a difference between 182hp and 198hp?

I just ordered a powerchip for my 4.6 disco so I'll let you all know if I notice any power gains.

 

[Panama Disco]

that would be great, thanks.

The gains are grater with a forced induction deisel compared to a normally asperated petrol.

It's like apples and oranges.

The TD5 is reportedly sensitive engine not just in normal tune but also when tweaked. If you want to up the performance start by increasing the size of the intercooler (Allard, J fearn are just two names) and go from there.

I was thinking about this but I have to order all the parts form the UK and that?s lot of $$

Its a small and light part. I've had winch bumpers shipped from UK to US at quite low cost (less than across the US). Fedex! Arrived in four days. Check it out before giving in!
