Well a few weeks ago I headed over to Shark Performance, the initial plan was to help out with a bit of map development. Then it turned out the 'Face Lift' Yeti is literally just a facelift with the same ECU as previous models!

Well, I was there, the car was on the rollers, so we agreed to go for it anyway! As Ben had already had his own Fabia 1.6tdi project car with a stage one map we were expecting the same 135bhp results, but we were a fair bit wrong!

Ben got to work on the car and as the first results started popping up on the screen I was convinced I must be reading it wrong. A few hours later and he walked out with a combination of a smile with a surprised expression on his face.

The stock Yeti Greenline has 105bhp official figure, so when Ben told me it was now running at 148.9bhp and 306nm of torque I almost fell over!

Ben put this down to the Yeti having a larger intercooler, so there's a lot to be said for upgrading it.

A few weeks on and I'm even more over the moon than I was on the two hour drive home, the car is completely different. The additional power is there throughout the rev range but rearly pulls from 2000rpm and all the way through to 5000rpm.

I am having so much fun that I look for excuses to drive the car, I even volunteered to get the shopping in!!

So more power, a transformed drivability and now comes the best bit, driving 'normally', doing runs I have done many times, which include motorway and town driving, and I am seeing an increase in mpg!

I can't recomend the team at Shark Performance highly enough, there professionalism, customer service and passion for their work would put many companies I deal with to shame. If you are considering modifications to your car, then contact Shark Performance, you will not be disappointed.

Are these the ones were all the 1.6 tdi's the same? If so would a 75bhp one go to 148bhp with a remap and a bigger intercooler?

it would indeed - the engines inc turbo etc are identical.

+1 to that, you would really notice the transformation from 75bhp!
