As the guy drove it he said feels like a 185bhp one, which it is, a standard one not a remapped one

Hi maybe get the cat and dpf looked at see if they are getting blocked ?,
did you get a smoke test done

rockfordbass · Jun 23rd, 2020, 21:18

Not yet waiting on garage to open fulling but I'll call tomorrow, any way of checking cat and dpf

There could still be a air leak , boost or air going in to the turbo,
it is making the boost it is asking for, but if there is a boost leak the turbo has to spin faster to make the same boost, and that means more heat, and that kills power, or if there is a leak after the MAf , the car will not be putting in the correct amount of fuel, like I say my car lost 20bhp when the cold air pipe to the turbo had a split in it,

They can remove the lambda sensor and fit a pressure gauge ,and test for back pressure,

if done correctly a smoke test will show the smallest of leaks,

Ok little update, got a leak off looks like back of egr, it's a metal pipe doing it tomorrow then smoke test after, can't see making difference in power but needs to be sorted

Not had leak test done yet, but had a 2hour carbon clean engine feels looser, slightly more power, need a leak test still just to make sure, sounds odd but feels quicker after 5 mins of driving the when engine temp is normal if feels slower

Update had leak test done and no leaks, but when checking under the car, the intercooler had the biggest bow it in and leaking oil, so looking like intercooler has never been working since remap, new one going on tomorrow so I'm praying now this will unlock the power of it, update tomorrow night
