tjwoolley Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hi guys, Please bare with me i'm new to the forum. haha I have got a mk2 focus 1.6tdci 110 bhp. I want to slightly modify it without going over the top and without spending a lot of money. I have done visual mods such as tinted windows, drl lights and sprayed the alloys a gunmetal grey. I also want to add a little power to the engine for a bit more of a pull. I have ordered a egr valve blanking plate for better running as I read on the forums but I am now considering a remap to 138bhp. Is it worth having a remap as I have been told that the engine is prone to blowing turbos? I don't want to be going and forking out for a new turbo after the remap. The car has done 73 thousand miles. having the remap is really tempting but I am worried about what I have heard ab out blown turbos. Also could anyone please recommend any little mods I could do to the car, subtle but effective? Another thing I don't want the car smoking black smoke once it is remapped. thanks for the help guys Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1.6tdci turbo failure is caused by the egr and dpf clogging the oil turning it to sludge, The sludge blocks the small pipe feeding oil to the turbo, Banjo bolt in the turbo dries up and POP! Turbo gone Kept clean, no problem, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to stay in touch with progress once you get it :D Internet crash, thats a nightmare mate, Id be lost without the internet, i only purchase food in ireland, everything else i purchase online lol Aswell as communication, i dont talk to the neighbours but you guys are my neighbours on a larger country scale ;) I cant wait to get going on the new project, Ill defo post images and links to the progress thread which will be on AE111 owners club, Lenny the car reminds me of a Nissan Silvia S15 from the rear and a Honda R-Type (2 door import) from the front. gonna look insance once you have a bodykit on it. Thanks Sal, I'd love a Nissan Silvia S15 but I'd be dead within months, I like coasting in to bends and accelerating out of the apex, That wouldn't work well in a Silvia if it did work well then it would defo be one for you tube, Thankfully the Levin Ae111 is front wheel drive but looks like a drift, Hopefully get one with the body kit fitted already, if I'm lucky Can't wait 170bhp naturally aspirated velocity stacked twin-cam 20 valve 1.6 petrol engine, redlines at 9000rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
