The Alive GTB550 Turbocharger, bigger brother to our legendary GTB450 turbo, is our biggest production, direct fit turbo for the Land Rover Td5.
Designed to produce up to 250hp and up to 550Nm, but we regularly see torque well in excess of this when pushed on a healthy 15P Td5 engine.
This somewhat understated Defender 90 featured here, had previously been tuned with our Stage 2 remap and our awesome Ultimate Intercooler, but our customer decided it was time for more!
Emissions is something we take very seriously and the goal was to make as much power as possible, whilst keeping the exhaust emissions to that of a factory spec Td5 Defender.
Join Alive’s Motorsport Technician and dyno operator, Stewart, on this journey to achieve exactly what our customer wanted.

Great video and love the enthusiasm. I keep seeing a little MR2 in the background would be good to see that on the rolling road / dyno.
Hi Stu ! Keep up the good work, you guys should film some of your mechanics working to, like replacing new LR rads adding your Intercoolers and EGR removal and your injector cleaning. Maybe even your elusive leader can say a few words and as an Icon of LR tuning viewers will listen to his every word. Your channel should have at least ten times the subscribers and growing as your passion keeps our Iconic LR vehicles A live…. My own Alive upgrades are being added finally after upgrading nearly everything on my 1999 Defender TD5 10p (Gary special) so can’t wait to see the usability transformation that you guys continually deliver for your customers. I will be back on the greenlanes shortly fully Alive tuned… keep your videos coming and with more frequency please. Thank you
Nice linear map Stu. I should really bring my D3 over for you guys to work a bit of magic on. Chasing a minor boost leak at the minute though.
