    Diesel re-map?

    I have a 2006 s40 sport se diesel and I was wondering if it is possible to have the standard 136bhp "boosted" a wee bit?

    If it is possible,what kind of difference in the performance could I expect?

    Is there anybody in Central Scotland you could reccomend?

    Cheers in advance guys!

    Just had mine done by HLM sent them my ecu and whoopee! Three days later got it back. 115bhp standard don't know what it is now but they reckon around 145 ish. very nice chap to talk to on the phone aswell. search for Hamish on this site or pm me for his number.
    "I am never wrong! Just in a position to learn something new!"
    Mods so far, HLM ReMap, Goodridge brake lines, Eibach springs lowering 35mm, K&N57i filter with cold air, Strut brace, Shark fin aerial, Boost guage
    YES IT'S A DIESEL
    Wish list, BOV, 18" rims, Struts, Stainless exhaust, Injector Upgrade, MORE POWER!

    I found a RICA agent in Edinburgh,GFM Diagnostics.According to their website,the can up the power to 178bhp which should make a wee bit of a difference!

    Unhappy

    Don`t think I will bother with the re-map!!

    Apparently,the injectors are made by a company called Delphi and are are soft as putty!!!

    Heard a lot of horror stories about injectors going at 20k after a remap!

    136 bhp will just have to do...............
