Stage 1 remap

Tuned BHP140

Tuned Nm310

ARL turbo - although might pop a rod  without internal supports

PD130/150 injectors

 

but if you do stuff like this you got to be thinking of brake/suspension/bush upgrades

 

 

all depends on your budget upper limit without serious money 200bhp maybe - personally not a great engine to tune due to the  strength of the late 1.9 PD engines such as BXE and BLS rods through the block

What my plan was map mine to about 150/320nm and when the turbo goes bang slap a pd150 turbo on then uprate clutch/injectors. mine is the bxe engine but I herd it was hit and miss with them throwing rods.. i've had mine 2 years and it's never skipped a beat so if it did end up going bang I could rebuild it or buy a new motor.

Hi,

 

Welcome to Briskoda - we have an introduction sub forum for new members so we can find a bit more about you.

yeah but I assume in those 2 years you've not changed anything - it's when you start dicking about with the engine they start causing problems.

 

however if you're looking at a modest upgrade

I would recommend:

turbo back exhaust (Milltek?)

Remap

£800-1000 somewhere in that region I'd think

that should see the power gains you want and (shouldn't) cause any issues - personally that's where I'd leave it (engine wise)

Miltek won't really make any difference other than noise. I'm going to get de cat my exhaust and have a remap done. and then go from there.

hmm I would disagree with that, a decent turbo back exhaust system with give you a performance gain roughly somewhere like 5-8% - I wouldn't recommend a decat as that's illegal on cars registered after 1993, the alternative to this is a high flow cat.

 

however if you decide to go ahead with that : Pipe Ø: 2.50" (63.50mm) *  large bore downpipe is a good route to go

For the price it's just not worth it for me.
