    Hi David,


    Some facts about your turbo,


    A compressor wheel mod will be about £ 450.00 to £ 650.00 and an extra £ 150.00 for a billet wheel mod, this makes the turbo spin easier.
    To enlarge the exhaust side as well will be an full cost of about £ 770.00 but enlarging the exhaust you will have a slower spool up.


    A compressor wheel mod will give you about 30 Bhp more
    A full mod will give you about 60 Bhp more


    I personally think that the way to go will be the compressor mod with uprated injectors and a remap. I would estimate that the total cost will be
    about £ 1200.00 to £ 1500.00.
    I would need the vehicle for about a week.


    Have a think about it and let me know your thoughts.


    Thanks,
    Regards,
    Keith

    Can the clutch / gearbox take the extra ????

    I would rather ask a maybe silly question than here a BIG BANG!

    I've just messged him back and 100% it will be fully uprated.
    Just trying to search for a firm that can do one for our cars.
    Cars can be a pain in the backside, The hybrid has had quite a few jobs done I can say it was money well spent.

    Think I might have to give dreadnought garage a call, can't seem to find any uprated gearboxes for our cars.

    There some for the KV6 1.8 k-series and the V8, otherwise can't seem to find one for the CDTI model, unless I look at the BMW side of things.

    Regards to suspension, does anyone have recommendations on where to shop for them.?

    What am trying to do is calumniate how much I need save for that target.
    Then work out my bills and also how much I earn in a week and convert it to a monthly thing.

    Like to plan ahead at the same time, learn more about the engine and your input and information.
    I can do this and enthusiasm is improving everyday.



    Its just a damn good car and looks the part and I'm confident it will do well.
    Cars can be a pain in the backside, The hybrid has had quite a few jobs done I can say it was money well spent.

    Yes, forget it and get a V8...............

    To be fair, I'm not that interested in a diesel track day car.

    And good luck with your quest...................
