Hi guys and gals,
Just joined and my transport is a VW Jetta TDI 2002. I am at present searching for a Jaguar as an up grade. The newer Jags have limiter chip in the electronics system and I'm wondering about remapping to improve performance and fuel economy.

Happy cruising to all,
Oliver507

Hello and welcome. The Jags are nice cars. You really need to find a specialist - if you do then you have whatever you want power wise. Weight reduction will also improve performance as most Jags are pretty laden down with gadgets, features and heavy parts .
