I am browsing this site http://www.ccengines.co.uk/ and in particular the section about diesel tuning. I quote:

"The Diesel Car represents an enormous opportunity for reliable low cost tuning, without spoiling any of the principle reasons for buying a Diesel Engine Vehicle in the first place, i.e. Economy of operation and longevity. Diesel engines fall into three categories, and depending on which category your engine is, dictates how much performance can be achieved.

Category 1 - Diesel Engines without intercooler, and with mechanical injection pump, this is a car that will achieve a very small improvements from increasing boost pressure, advancing and increasing fuel delivery, typically 15 bhp and about 20% more torque. Most engines will benifit from a free flowing air filter. If you would like an intercooler contact us for the best prices.

Category 2 - Diesel Engine with intercooler, with mechanical injection pump, this engine can achieve good results, typically up to 30 BHP and 30% more torque, however, due to the mechanical pump not being controlled to very close tolerances when initially accelerating some smoke may have to be tolerated while the turbo is producing initial boost. A free flow air filter will help this problem a lot.

Category 3 - Diesel Engine with & without Intercoolers, and with Electronic Fuel Injection, these engines are the latest evolvement and are superb to tune, it will achieve up to 50 BHP and 60% more torque, WITHOUT SMOKE, in any part of the operating cycle.

We can Re-map most diesels using a piggy back ecu. "

Does anyone understand this stuff and does anyone know which category the L400 falls under? Thanks,
Mr Bean

probablly no2 as it should have an intercooler with a mechanical pump
