Ohh I see. This one doesn't sound bad at all really. Sounds pretty nice.

Sticks out a bit far mate watch you don't trip anyone up when you're reversing lol.
Take a better video with you at the exhaust while someone else revs it?
Good point Kyle, noticed something wasn't quite right when I picked it up
Yup Paul will do tomorrow with my mate. Going for the remap at RS tuning in Leeds tomorrow, quite alot of money, cheers student finance.
Right! Biggest update from me I'd say.
Today me and my mate Matty went over to RS Tuning to see about getting my car remapped.
The car was initially ran on the rolling road and ran a solid 118 bhp, the 3rd run saw 121bhp! From a standard 114bhp engine.
It's the torque that amazed me, they are 184 ft/lb standard whereas mine ran 220 ft/lb standard. 44 up from standard :O
I'm guessing it's the decat and removal of the silencers that's given such a gain.
Initial run.
The car on the rollers.
Took a picture of matty and it turned out actually pretty scary haha look at his eyebrows !
One of me pulling also a weird face haha
We then went to go get something to eat and found the sexy sex shop !
Just another pic from the behind. realised other day the exhaust is a little too sticky out for meWant it further in sobbbb
The car was then put the map on, up to 136bhp and 139 ft/lb of torque. Not bad but was told there would be more of a gain after a few tweaks.
After the tweak this was achieved.
And printed out sheets.
142.2bhp and 247 ft/lb torque. Not mind blowing figures but excellent gains for this engine.
I was then taken out for a spin in it, me in the passenger seat which felt very strange indeed even just sitting there. Taken around the area for 2 mins and it felt incredible. So smooth yet hard pulling and very fast!
The drive home was excellent. Before when accelerating there was a major flat spot (you can see in the before/standard run) where the car just took ages for it to kick in and go but now it just pulls almost instantly when i put my foot down. It just feels like it wants to free rev like a petrol.
Before when going up a hill the car would feel as if it was labouring and i'd have to change gear, on the same hill it just sailed up it today and had so much more to give.
Wanting to go out and drive it now but wallet says no ha.
Nearly forgot the sound, it sounds epic now haha got a clip of it. Did an acceleration video but I barely got any traction so didn't seem that fast. Sorry for the giggly laugh, just excited HA.

So happy with it, although I did half expect more torque, perhaps 20 ft/lb more as i've been told on a forum another TDCi 1.8 got 263ft/lb but i'm pretty happy with 247 ft.
Should hopefully see an improvement on fuel once Im on a long run. Going down to Essex in a few weeks and will be taking it steady so will see then.

Nice results, i bet you're very happy with that mate?
How much was the mapping session?
Nice one.
Price would be interesting as usually with diesels they just upload a new map and send you on your way.
Crazily happy with it aye. Just keep wanting to dive outta the house and go for a spin!
Yeah I saw on a focus forum where same engine as mine was remapped by a company and after getting it on the rolling road it only produced 7bhp more than standard. I know theres loads of other criteria but at least I know what mines running now and was tweaked until it was running max.
Was £345+vat.
Ouch!
