Default tdci performance on the cheap

Hi all new here i've a 02 zetec s estate tdci. Now firstly ive got a whole load of boost leaks from the hoses I keep repairing them with a layer of duck tape then plaster board scrim tape then more duck tape. Which lasts for a while but now I'm bord of it n want to change them does anybody know where to get the cheapest silicone full set from? Secondly I want more POWER besides just a good old service. I gather the egr blank n inlet clean helps. But is there owt else that help performance either just elbow grease or cheap parts. And then finally are re maps a good choice. I'm worried about my flywheel, a mate started driving a 115 hard and the dual mass gave up n took the rear main oil seal, starter motor,, caused a gearbox whine n took a day to get the flywheel off.

Sort the hoses out as soon as you can tape won't fix them as there is a LOT of pressure that goes through them - leaking hoses will do the turbo no favours. eBay seems to the cheapest place to get silicone ones.

Definitely blank the EGR - on an 02 Mondeo it will cause no issues at all, and will improve the car.

If you want more power, a simple remap will work wonders - but if the clutch/DMF is tired it will finish them off. If they've been replaced not to long ago then they can take the increase in power without any issues.

Bigger intercooler

The first three cost less than £100?
