Hi all,
New on here, I've owned my 2008 GT ES 2.2 Dtec for around 2 years now with no issues at all!
I went to get a Remap on it the other week and when the guy unlocked the ECU found it had already had one, upping the power to around 185-190 and torque to 410-420Nm. Since he unlocked it I've plugged my scanner in to read the live data and found the EGR closed so the DPF must've been removed too!
This is all great TBH as i was thinking of having this done anyway, it's on 160K miles on the original clutch! it's only slipped when pulling in 6th at about 50mph (stupid i know but i couldn't be bothered to change gear lol)
I've read that a Type S clutch will fit but is there anything stronger on the market? I've seen the CG Motorsport 666 kit but have read mixed reviews on this. I wouldn't mind upping the power a bit more if i can, so wondering if the Type S clutch will be okay?
Also what other mods can be done to these engines? Will removing the standard air-box and fitting a cone filter help? Is this even a viable option?
Also putting a larger intercooler in and the OEM one is TINY!!!
Any help would be much appreciated, this is my first proper diesel as most of the stuff i have modified in the past has been old jap petrols!
Regards
Rob
