Now that is remarkable as I have a low mileage xud9te engine and box, that has been stored for about six months with a bulk sand delivery bag over it, with a latex glove over the inlet...it turns over still but im concerned that it may have degraded and the donor car had one of those button immobilizer boxes in the centre console its been removed by cutting through the driveshafts, it has the td gearbox on it and im not sure if the clutch pushes or pulls, I havent got the right bonnet on the donor car, ( no intercooler liner) and the non turbo vehicle i got 56000miles from new had some sort of waste oil system fitted to it but the big issue is that it was a professional dog sitters vehicle and despite my best efforts I just dont seem to be able to get rid of the smell of wet stinky dog, I got the bug actually watching mrlobbs xud9 videos, my daily drive is a na 405 estate but i have had a brief taste of td power!
A mate told me it would be easier to just replace the HG on the NA car (it would be my first) than remove the na and replace with a TD, (never done this either) but I burn with the idea of having a "sleeper" with about 100hp that will return 50 mpg and also get my carp fishing gear into, the car waiting for the decision is a 405 style, no unreliable aircon, manual window wipers, no chrome trim but the doors tailgate and bonnet open and close like a new one! It does have a few dents mind. I have looked on here for the xantia type inlet manifold with the fmic, but the standard tmic would do for my idea of tuning it would be to get the turbo operating at lower revs and to actually raise the hp and increase the MPG if this can be done, I dont want a car with a microprocessor in it ...nor something that goes into limp mode xud9s are brilliant with clean oil and air filters regularly attended to in my experience... and are still probably the most reliable cheap to run and fix machines on the road, plus I have been able to treat mine to genuine oem parts being offloaded on ebay by a couple of Peugeot main dealers...whats not to like!
