  1. There's plenty of good mappers who can do it all online for you, I hear the name John from Hidden Power quite a bit on this forum so got to be decent.
  2. You will definitely need a custom remap to suit the hybrid turbo.
  3. It's not 2006, proper custom maps from reputable places only cost £150-£200 these days not like back in the day when you'd be looking at £350+
  4. I have almost zero mechanical skills or the tools for the job, had it done at local garage
  5. Mine was the loom and same code, changed it 3 days ago and its sorted now
  6. How accurate is the dyno because i've heard people running almost 30bhp off what they were actually running
  7. Declared for free with Admiral, they don't cover the mods so won't replace them but you can list them as long as it's mods their underwriters allow which let me declare everything apart from front tinted windows which are illegal so removed them last week.
  8. The Airtec intercooler is perfect, I didn't buy their pipe kit though just the intercooler, too many joints for my liking, went with Darkside's pipe kit
  9. Thank you for the replies and advice, definitely a great help, i'm going to go through with it
  10. My 53 plate is getting a little old now and they are prone to rust, I plan on keeping the car for a while and try to keep on top of it in terms of keeping it clean and protected but I have never cleaned it underneath so thinking about getting it undersealed before the winter. I have a few rust spots on the rear quarter and on the edge of the arch on one side of the car where I also happen to have a scuff which is due to be sorted out and resprayed, so I can get the rust treated at the same time.
  11. Diesel tuning is still at it's early stages, after going down the hybrid route myself i've discovered that if you want reliability then you should just stick to a simple stage 1 map from standard to 170/180bhp
  12. I've ran a GT1756 hybrid at 235bhp and 340lbft on a brand new standard Sach's clutch and flywheel, both changed about 2 months earlier and no slipping at all
  13. And there seem to be a lot of problems with these turbos, maybe it's just one supplier in particular but I have not heard about anything negative about the Darkside one or even other companies such as Turbo Dynamics
  14. Phil Cooper at TRP Developments recently tested one and found that particular unit was only capable of holding around 1.8 bar and around 215bhp
