Im looking to improve low end to mid range and feel even though it has had a very custom map that the reality is that there needs to be more airflow to gain anything else.

So, ok we find an upgrade unit (even off a larger hp model) how do we test fuelling under load on the diesel engine? Im not looking for a bodge upgrade it must be factory reliable.

Does anyone have any dyno plots/compressor maps for the various PD engine turbo's?

please discuss/suggest?
Are you around 165bhp now?

You could swap the pd150 mani/turbo, injectors and OE fmic - that plus a good remap (from Rtek say) will see 190bhp and 320ft/lbs
