Curious about this. Also which motor do you guys think is better overall? Thanks

I don't think it has a pump in the tank. I think both lift and high pressure pumps are on the engine. Agree with everything else. It has an ECM with multiple sensors, ie MAF, MAP, fuel pressure, etc, etc. About 9 sensors total that feed info to ECM and act accordingly. It is OBD II so you can pull codes and hopefully fix as needed. It is true that to "reprogram" the ECM would be difficult without support form LRNA. They do upgrade the ECM software from time to time. And I believe the injectors are "coded" to work with the ECM as well.Two totally different engines.
The Tdi is 99% purely mechanical... the only electrical bits are alternator,starter and fuel solenoid on the FIP (all of which can be removed/run without)
Puma is totally electronic, needs an ECU, high pressure in tank pump, drive by wire throttle pedal, and will need most of the dash guages etc to make it run (and so that YOU can see what it's doing)
If I'm not mistaken LRNA won't sell parts for anything that wasn't imported by them, so not selling parts for the Puma wouldn't be anything different.LRNA is not going to sell parts for that motor.
, but I'm very wary of anything Land Rover puts together which involves an ECU or any type of complex wiring. In fact, I'm not even convinced that they ever got basic lighting down.
