Default Car is running much better after i fitted Defis!



Hi,

I just finished fitting a set of Defi gauges and a KS3 knock analyser.

Previously the car felt a little sluggish at times especially on a warm/hot day but what has shocked me is after i installed the defis the car felt more responsive!!! It revs faster now.

I guess removing and re fitting the intercooler made a difference! Anyone else experience this??? It's a completely different car now

The maximum boost shown on the defi boost gauge is 1.5 bar and the oil temp sits at 90-100 degrees.

Thnks
Harry

It made 325 bhp at a recent rolling road day, i thought the car was standard PPP when i bought it Seems to be running the maximum boost possible on the original turbo. Can't wait to have the TD05 18G fitted

Maybe there was an air leak or something in the pipework somewhere...

Or the placebo effect of spending lots of money

Your lightened wallet will help the car's performance.
