Title: any extra oomppff??
Post by: player.777 on 26 April 2010, 19:13

Guys, my old man is coming over from Oz in three weeks and he hasn't been in the car since the re-map. I have dropped a bottle of Forte treatment in, but what else can I do, or book in for, to give it any extra BHP it may be losing??  To give it a little tweak before he has a go?

thanks mate- i take it the turbo cleaner in question is this one? http://www.innotecworld.com/c-1064-turbo-clean-set.aspx  Did it make any difference you reckon?   I have checked and replaced a few clips a while ago, will have another look and see. can't afford a new exhaust now- am moving house this friday (aagghh!!) so all money (and a lot more) tied up in that.

That's the stuff :afro:

I find my car smokes a lot less since having done it - got another issue so can't really comment on its full benefit but others have had it done and comment that the engine is far more responsive  :smiley:

I know Steve did it on his and he hasn't (not to my knowledge) hit limp mode since.  Having been out in his car last week I can confirm its proper quick :afro:

Not much more you can do then apart from check fluid levels and tyre pressures etc

Also make sure your wheel alignment is spot on to aid cornering and sure-footedness
NOt much more you can do then

not really know unless you get a decent jack and axle stands

you need to remove the downpipe off the turbo as you inject the cleaner directly into it

Its an hour's labour

wise move  :smiley:  Make sure they replace the gasket between the turbo and downpipe - about £3 from the dealers  :wink:
