Hi all

I am thinking of getting my doblo tuned

Has anyone heard of a company called Angel tuning

They have been recommended to me by a mate

Has anyone used this company if so what was the result

Thanks

Hi Bazza
I dont think diesels lend them selves to tuning as a petrol engine would, the compression ratio is already around 18:1 the best you do is to rechip the injection timing to give more or less top end performance, and there is a price to pay, possibly; it wont pull ,you will loose MPG. it might blow itself up,
buy yourself a motorbike if you need a thrill

I've seen the results on paper - 150bhp from the JTD.

Sounds too good to be true I don't get what you're going to lose, maybe nothing just your sanity!

Let us know how you get on - I'm quite tempted but not sure if I can justify it to my accountant - do I really need to get to work that quick

The JTD is a very flexible engine, and as has been said you can get some great BHP figures from it

Not only will you gain power, but you'll also gain better MPG as well when you aren't putting your heavy right foot to the floor

There are quite a few companies about, Angel Tuning is well advertised on here but look on the internet and you'll find others too. I think Celtic Tuning is another that's advertised here.

Oh boy do I - I grew up in them

Mum had a 128 Rallye, then 3 x 127's in a row. Dad had a Supamirafiori (the best name for a car ever, although it was a bit like calling a 70's Ford a "Superdagenham" lol)
