Jay's Jolf "GTI"... with a 1.9.. and 221bhp.
Andymc7:
As the owner of a pretty much standard 1.9 diesel you have just became my hero. Lovely car and some nice performance figures!
chrisr763:
After reading it I am rather tempted to do some performance upgrades to my 1.9. Will have to have a chat with you at GTI fest about it :)
200bhp would be nice, :rolleye:
Will be interesting to see how low your JOM's are compared to mine
torque777:
What engine code is it ? Take it its not BXE ? Bit worried about taking mine further after whats been happening to some BXE engines

Hey Eddie, yeah probably.. :scared: :grin: That being said things seem to be pretty reasonably priced which is a plus. No doubt I'll be hitting you up for more parts soon.

Thanks buddy, yeah I don't know what would have happened if I didn't have the car. The way I look at it, without setbacks you can't appreciate it when everything is going well. :popcornsoda:

Glad you liked it dude.
Who did the map? Anything between 140 and 150 is about normal for these engines bud. :happy2:

Thanks buddy. Yeah, it's not bad at all, I think it's one of the fastest 1.9s in the country, everyone seems to only ever mod the 2.0. :rolleye:

Yeah dude absolutely. It's very expensive after you get past a remap, you would need to uprate the clutch when going past around 160bhp as it will start to slip... you'd need to upgrade brakes, suspension, roll bars... On engine tuning alone I've probably spent over £4000.. as the clutch and turbo kit alone came to around £2600 in total, not forgetting the injectors and the other maps I've had over the years. :scared:

It's a BKC as the car is 04, I don't think BXE came along until later. I wouldn't worry about it bud, there's a Leon with a BXE on Darksides site, running over 260bhp and so far that's fine. I think it's like the old Mk4 PD150 camshaft issues... it just happens or doesn't happen.

I can confirm that this car goes well... I would definitely see Darkside Development if I landed back in a mk5 diesel :happy2:
