Simon S Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I am looking for a cheap way to get some more power from the focus 1.8 tdci and have seen a number of in line boxes that install between the fuel pressure sensor and the ECU. There are a number of them for sale on the famous auction site but is there a better option without spending more than £100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraYankee99 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Simple answer is no they dont work and no theres no way under £100. A decent chip will cost £400-£500. You can put a cone filter on but you wont get astonishing results. A chip will give about 35bhp increase and 70nM torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a site you could recommend that do the chip upgrades? Thanks. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
