Also here’s the graph if your interested

Yeah I think so to. Hopefully it lasts 6 month and I’ll have it changed by then. Any recommendations?

Picked the car up today final figures 197hp 430nm. Pretty pleased with it to be honest it shifts well for a daily. Thanks for the advice

Great cheers for the info sounds like it’s there abouts figure wise then really. Yeah it’s got a new LUK clutch which I plan on upgrading. I plan on being moderately sympathetic with it. Who knows they may be able to tweak it a little tomorrow and get a little more but that’s cleared that up for me. Thank you. I’ve not driven it so I’d imagine that would feel pretty quick when I pick it up.

Right I’m with you. Soon your opinion is the figures it’s making about on the money would you say ? I only questioned it as the lads mapping it are also very knowledgeable and seemed baffled as to why it wasn’t doing more which in turn made me doubt it etc.

Thanks for the response 👍They are called big fish tuning in the north east very reputable place by all accounts and not afraid to get their hands dirty. I’m unsure if they have worked on this particular turbo but have done many pd engines over the years. They did say they played with the actuator a little bit didn’t make much difference. It’s a strange one the guy said it’s making the boost (2.1 bar) just it tails off after 3k. Certainly an odd one. They are happy enough with the engine etc and all the supporting mods. But yes as you say I’m going to ask them to get in touch with JW to see if there’s something we’re missing. Like I say the torque figure seems decent enough I just thought against the claimed figures of 250-300, 190 seemed a little low but just thought I’d put it out to see what people know. There’s plenty on YouTube running this turbo many with offensive amounts of smoke but not much actual write up wise online in terms of reviews etc. thanks

Unless I’m missing something I said 1856 ? Im unsure if you mean it’s a 1756 hybrid and they have called it 1856 please elaborate. I never mentioned a mate and I don’t partake in the devils leaf. the cars with a tuning company. No need to be like that really I'm just asking for advice mate. The maker of the turbo JW automotive in Essex claim 250 all day with more to go and have videos on their website of cars doing that albeit with a lot of smoke hence why I was just asking if anybody has knowledge. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect just going off the claimed figures etc. like you say the torque seems decent anyway.

Thanks for the reply I’m not unhappy just against the claimed figures of 250hp with standard injectors and 300 with bigger ones I just thought it was a bit away from where it should be. The turbo seller said on his car similar set up he’s got close to 300 and he’s also confused as to why it’s not doing more. Like you say maybe it’s not about the bhp though. I must admit I thought they would run out of clutch before turbo. The cars still with them and they are going to play around more tomorrow after a full day on it today so we shall see.

Has anyone had issues with the jw automotive 1856 turbo. I’ve got a new one fitted to my car with all the relevant supporting mods and have taken it to an extremely reputable tuner who at present can only get 190hp out of the car and around 400nm. Apparently it’s making the boost but not flowing well. The car has the usual 4 car map sensor. Head bolts. Dark side intercooler with hard pipes. New gasket. Belts and braces really. Just wondered what peoples experience with this turbo was like. Thanks Jack
