mapping a diesel
If done some rooting around on Google and found a few company's that offer mapping on my car but they all say around 25 bhp and 40 to 50 foot pound increase but is that just a happy medium or can you push the map further
The car in question is a 08 Clio 1.5 dci 86

it will all be down to the clutch and what kind of map you want, stay away from anything to aggressive as it will kill ur clutch in quick time, Id imagine 50lb ft increase in a clio would be noticeable, it will also rev more like a petrol after the map, a better power band.

On that car the 25bhp and upto 50lb is noticable.
The ecu mapping on them is different than subarus, usually one a decent map has been built it works on all. Unlike subarus.
Done a few vw and audi and have the kit to do renaults too but not done the clio so cant answer specific.

When you get it mapped can you ask how much they advanced the ignition and get back to us?

Don't all cars after a certain age have to have DPFs these days?
My B7 Audi A4 170 had a DPF but that has been removed along with the EGR. Has made for a really nice drive TBH.

Nope. Presence of the DPF isn't a requirement of the MOT (Yet)
It still passes emissions and still has the OE exhaust system. Many maps give some nasty black smoke but mines very clean. Its only had a few PSI pushed through it and the DPF and EGR mapped out (properly so the car knows not to regenerate the DPF)
