Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD - Why wouldn't you?
#9
My latest forte, love these engines.


There's a chap not a million miles from you over in Woodbridge who is a self taught genius mapping these engines.

He will completely disable the EGR system and write a custom map for £80! This will see circa 200bhp and 330 lb ft torque from a 150 engine.

My latest is EGR removal via mapping, EGR blanked both ends with EGR cooler removed, the strongest map he can write without a hybrid & uprated injectors, popcorn rev limiter (sounds like a petrol rally car but it's a derv - fecking awesome).

I'd never had any EGR probs but they are common, my turbo is on its last legs but any 10yr old diesel will be in the same position if it's got average miles. Good excuse for a hybrid.

All I can say is if you get one you'll love it once you've met my friend in Woodbridge...
