Thanks for the info Sharkie

Except the report seemed to suggest that the 77TDI had heaps of turbo lag. Not sure if a reflash will fix that or make it "seem" even worse.

Check it out and decide for yourself.

From the graph, torque is coming on at the same time, but instead of stopping at 250Nm @ 1500rpm, it keeps going till 330Nm @ 1900rpm, and rather than the peak torque stopping at 2500rpm, it stays until 2800rpm. It then drops off about the same rate as the stop torque, but is still ~80Nm up over stock at 4500rpm. So this is only an improvement with no disadvantage.
Power starts outpacing stock from the get go at, ~1300rpm. By the time you hit 2000rpm you're already ~23kw up on stock, which means you're already over the 81kw peak which the stock achieves at 4200rpm. Power continues to grow to 110kw at 3800rpm. At 4500rpm you're still ~25kw up on stock. So again, only advantages.

So I wouldn't say that this elimates turbo lag, but I would say you're going to get a much bigger grin on your face once the turbo does spool up!
