Transporter T5 2008 (T28 102ps 75KW) - Remapping a MAF to increase torque and performance - Robert2638

I have recently bought this vehicle and had it converted professionally to a camping van. There was a problem with performance and the dealer found the MAF faulty and replaced it. I found improved performance but I have read about remapping the MAF which increases torque, performance and fuel economy. Do you have an opinion on this? There is a respected company in my area which would do it save a copy of original map and put it back to original if I wished.

I should have said the remapping the ECU sorry.

I'd go easy. The 1.9 TDi is available in much higher outputs in lighter veicles and there's a reason the heavy vehicles are fitted with the lower powered versions,

A bump in torque and horsepower will be fine for a bit of acceleration, but don't use it as an excuse to select a gear for the day. Increasing power and torque is easy. Gains in fuel economy are much harder to achieve. They'll get a bit by advancing the injection timing and reducing EGR but don't expect much in the way of economy. If you're running the engine hard, more frequent oil changes would be advisable.
