it made 184 bhp and 280ish ft/lb but couldnt keep the smoke down enough for my liking.

so settled on 174 bhp and 270 ft/lb with a bit of smoke feels really good on the road, as quick as a golf v6 4 motion in a straight line from 20mph anyway if anyone wants graphs let me know and I will print them off and post them up.

174 is enough bet its a beast for overtaking

just smokes slightly under heavy load at 2000 rpm, nothing drastic though, just a slight wisp from the tailpipe.

its great fun in any gear at any revs and lovely and smooth (and economical) to drive slowly.

They seem to respond pretty well to the remaps!

Mate has a Clio DCi 100. Was remapped and apparently puts out similar torque levels to a standard renaultsport. And it chases my Corsa

So yeh... spend the money. Great results!

Mine smoked like crazy after getting it remapped, I was told to drive it for 2 weeks and see if it improved, then bring it back and he'd tune it down a little bit.

It turns out though that a intercooler hose was loose, and leaking air - a week after the remap this popped off which turned otu to be a very common issue with ibizas/fabias as the steel lug holding the hose on isn't very strong.

I replaced this for about £30, the smoking stopped and it hasn't popped off since, I secured it good n' proper with cable ties

not yet.

another tip with the PD engines is to use a decent fuel. They tend to smoke a fair bit more with supermarket fuel compared with BP ultimate or similar.
