By reading "What Diesel Car" (published four weekly at £3.90) you will find quite a few tuners who will tune non-electronic controlled engines with the same success as the electronic-controlled variety. I took my car to Allards who used to be in Monmouth but have since moved to the Gloucester area. They have a website andf specialise in turbodiesel tuning. Hence my 185bhp D24TIC 945.

All the best, Peter.

Thanks Peter, I'd forgotten about the then Diesel car since the gradual disintegration of my peugeot 309 gld many years ago.
BTW it was nice to see you moving off 3383, it wasn't until recently that I read you'd taken a bit of a break.

Hi Peter!
I just find out about diesel forum. The only upgrade I've done is massive K&N induction kit and custum made S.Steel exhaust. How did they manage to fit 185bhp in your Volvo????
I want the same!!!!! Do you need to take your car to their garage or DIY? Thank you.

First Diesel advertise there and they used to service my 945. They told me that they tuned it for power. I don't know what the output was but there didn't seem to be much that could touch it when I felt like losing someone on the motorway. It used to reach 110 mph easily despite being 15 years old with 165,000 on the clock.

Are these guys any good at turbo petrol engines if they do it at all?
