What can be done to the TDCi 130 engine other than the normal tuning box/remap route? I remember seeing an article in Fast Ford about tuning the TDCi engine range but i cant find anymore information about them

 

ive got the 115bhp and its been a nightmare... be carefull the turbo,s are pants and fail big time and the turbo is a absolute basterd to get in and out

 

funny as you say the one i have just bought has a duff turbo but i have a new one ready to fit on to it

 

be careful were you buy the turbo from as there vv variable vain and if there not set up correctly you wont get power low down i went thru 3 b4 buying a oem from garret

 

You can do a bit to them

Chip/ Remap
Induction kit
Exhaust + Decat
Intercooler
Hybrid Turbo

Mite be worth you getting the hybrid turbo now as you replacing it, But cost is 1300

 

Ł1300!! what sort of power gain would that get joint with a remap?

 

havent had it tested so couldnt tel you,

the remap gives you 30 bhp

i have all the mods listed on my mondeo and boy does it fly.

 

Where did you get the turbo from? and did they modify your old one or was it service exchange?

 

got from turbo Dynamics, Nope Brand new off the shell and the stripped it and did the hybrid to it.

 

so in theory they could mod my old one?

 

is this the same engine as whats in my 08 plate focus?its gutless low down and could do with a bit more further up the rev range.

 

No the engines in the focus are PSA ones (1.6 and 2.0) the only ford engine is the 1.8

 

The one ive got is 2 months old and has been on a car that i know was perfect before it got side swiped I know that if its got the electronic actuator on it will cause problems but lucky for me its a mechanical actuator
