You had a 130 hitting 195....Bloody good efffort!

Yes the 150 turbo will fit! It is a bolt on upgrade, nothing will need changing! The turbo (only internally), injectors and intercooler is the only thing that is different between the 150/130  :smiley:

Tidy work with the custom pipework. The Fmic makes a big difference compared to the crappy SMIC! If you throw the 150 turbo on I'm not sure how much power you'd get as the fuelling is a big thing with tuning diesels I believe, and the 130 has the smaller injectors!

Fit a decat, either cut out the orig or get a decat pipe and possibly a turbo back exhaust, and you will get a few more horseys and more torque, the decat is so sh!tttt.

I bet the tuner is to blame, 2.1bar is pretty high I think  :undecided:

Try posting in the remapping section for any tips!
