Probably a stupid question but just had my BMW535D re-mapped and result is fantastic. I know turbo-diesels get most from a remap but is there work that can be done easily on the ECU in my Chimaera 500 that would optimise its performance?

I have a Mark Adams Tornoado chip package that will give you what you need, PM me if you're interested.

The TVR chip is already tuned for maximum power, so there wont be much more to be had.

Thanks for the thoughts and info which are much appreciated - think I'll leave things as they are at the moment (though the remap of the 535D has made it almost as much fun as the Chim). Cheers
