Roverron Tuning

Looking at the Roverron Website, I am confused as to what options my ZT would benefit from???

Can anyone tell me what a 131 ZT-T CDTi would need to gain maximum benefit from this upgrade.

Also - what do you say to the insurance company?

A synergy Tuning box for around 150BHP which will give you more low down torque etc.
If your MAF is at all faulty get the Pierburg MAF at same time.
This is much cheaper and more reliable than the Bosch one.
The Air Intake Mod MK2 also helps supply more air to the System.

Insurance Companies are all different, but it should be disclosed to them.
some charge no extras (mine didn't) some can load from £20 upward.

I said it was a Aid for giving more Torque to tow caravan.

Like JohnDotCom says, Synergy 2 is your best bet. Then any combination, or all of the below:

1. Synergy 2
2. Clean EGR (free)
3. Replace EGR with bypass pipe (about £45)
4. Intake mod 2 (free)
5. Clean PCV valve (free)
6. Decat (local garage to do this??? £50-£100 to cut out CAT and re-weld in pipe).
7. K&N filter replacement.
8. Bleed valve to up boost (turbo).
9. Wastegate actuator helper spring (see Rover Ron's site).
10. Remap

I've done 1,2 and 4.

Rover Ron got 170bhp+ and 300lb/ft torque from this engine with a few of the above mods! Pretty impressive from the stock 129bhp (I think his base was the 75 CDT @ 111bhp!)
