Intresting bloke at work today - bashbarnard - 15-08-2014
Had a customer come in who used to work for citroen and was trained with my boss and while doing the mot he was speaking about how he used to tune xud back in the day. Said he could get them to go a little quicker but not a lot. Advancing timing adding a bit of fuel adjusting the boost. Funny how far thinga have come with xud tuning in the space of a decade or so. Wonder whats going to come of dv6s and things in a few years.

Tbh I reckon DV6s wont last anywhere near as long, far too delicate!

More to do with cost of repairs and lack of balls ?

we were talking about this a few years ago at a north east meet, we said a stage one tune was the top whack, and anything over that it wasn't even heard of, now I think its more common to have a car well over a stage 2 tune.

Its true how things have progressed. I think cost comes into it alot. No one wants to f*ck up a 6/7grand car without proven mods

plus it may work out cheaper modding an older car than buying a new car with the same bhp.
my rover turned out to be the same if it was a 1.4 or modded.

It's also because everything is so cheap.
People think nothing of stripping a pump down and fiddling around to try and get more fuel flowing, because worse case sceanrio you muck it up and slap a new one in for a few notes.
There's a ton of cheap turbo's knocking around as well, so you can pretty much stick on whatever you want.
RE: Intresting bloke at work today - bashbarnard - 15-08-2014
True. Infact im after another pump to play with thats just been sitting. As said its only a few quid and it doesnt matter
Saying that dv6s are becoming cheap. Considering getting a newer motor to play with too. See what they can really do. Just buy the write offs from snapped belts and things

Also, the kind of people who buy 7k diesel family cars don't typically tune them, they run them as economical family cars.
