Hi guys/gals

I done a search for what i want but only 4 results came up and were years old.

Ive just bought a Seat Ibiza 1.9TDI FR 2006 model.

I took it on the dyno to check if anything had been done to it and its been remapped to 181bhp/334 torque

It has standard intercooler so thats what im getting done first at the end of the month by JDM Dyno in Cumbria. Ive just fitted a pipercross panel filter (but seems to have gone a tiny bit sluggish, this might be just me)

My next plan is to upgrade the turbo / injectors, then a turbo back exhaust by Meercat in Scotland followed by a new remap. Then a helix clutch and then brakes.

At this present moment i need guidance on the turbo / injector upgrade as i havent a clue what im looking for.

Can you help? Do i need to upgrade the injectors? what sort of price? Whats the max power im going to achieve?

Where to start?

What is your ultimate power goal? You looking at 230bhp? 280bhp or more?

Injectors - The standard injectors on the PD130 are good for 230bhp, if you're looking at more then you'll have to upgrade but they aren't cheap. There are two main places (that I know) that supply uprated injectors - http://www.darksidedevelopments.co....-8v-tdi-with-firad-50-80-120-160-nozzles.html and http://www.uniteddiesel.co.uk/diesel-injector-power-upgrades/

Turbo - There are loads to choose from nowadays, there are OEM, Hybrids and GTB Turbos, all do slightly different things, but end up with the same result, more power.

I'm running a GTB1756VK on standard injectors, 2.5" turbo back exhaust and Darkside SMF Clutch Kit. My power is 230bhp and 410ft/lbs, here is my readers ride - http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=395773

IC - I'm unsure what brand or whatever is being used. I'm just paying the guy but he explained he'll be replacing all pipe work with stainless steel and the intercooler will be fit behind the honeycomb bottom grille.

If the standard injectors are good up to 230 then I'll prob want to go up to that figure seeing as though new injectors are pricey.

Does 181bhp sound right for a remap or is it safe to assume something else has been modified?

I bought the car from a dealer so this info is not available to me
