at the moment i am thinking of getting a hybrid turbo or is the any think else i could do i only wana try get it up to 130bhp as i still want it to be reliable cheers ian

Remap is all you need to get it to 130bhp
If you think your insurance is a killer wait until you tell them about your remap.............
-
im goin to be getting my 2nd yrs no claims soon so it wont really make a difference as i have been doing sum research
i was thinking re-map but 1 of my friends keep telling me to get a hybrid turbo and i just was trying to see wot the gains would be if i got 1

Remap will be cheaper and more easier. Rack up your NCB's then go and buy a faster car again :afro:

i will be keeping it untill it dies i think just because is been the best car i have ever owned
just been looking at front mount inter coolers on ebay i might have 2 invest in 1 as i think they look nice
-
they are not a good fit if your looking at universal ebay ones..

Not worth fitting to a standard or Stage 1 mapped car IMO
Save your money for your next motor :smiley:

Easy 135bhp. Think the most you'll see is 140ish but that's probably pushing the turbo a little too hard.
It will be a noticeable difference!

cheers i don't want to have 2 much strain on the turbo due to i do a lot of motorway miles
also when i was giving it a service the egr valve look very dirty so did the turbo is the any think i could use to get it looking clean again ive tryed that red.x diesel but that didn't touch the sides ian

EGR valve can be cleaned with brake cleaner I believe
Turbo; you need Innotec. The kit is around £45. Ideally you need a set of workshop ramps as you need to remove the exhaust downpipe so you can get access to the turbo for cleaning it
-
any chance of a link of wot i would need
and a ramp isnt hard to get hold of got a double poster ramp in my m8s workshop in he's garden so ill just go use that
-
You can also get rid of the EGR valve with the EGR delete kit. Do a search for it and read up on it mate. I think I got mine from a company called Allard.

ill have a look now cheers ian
