May I be the first to comment pedantically on your spelling, capitalisation, grammar and punctuation.
Posters in uk. groups tend to use english. It doesn't have to be perfect, but advice (whether its friendly or not) will be more forthcoming if you post messages which are a wee bit more intelligable.

Yawn.
The spelling Police are getting *very* tiresome now.
Pointing out that the guy doesn't have very good English is a complete waste of time - it's not like he can go and learn it today, then come back tomorrow and post properly ! If that's his standard of English, then that's his standard of English. It's not gonna change !!
It's time the spelling Police took a period of indefinite leave !
Firstly, I'm assuming you've bought the 115bhp engine, not the 90bhp or
100bhp lumps - if you're at all bothered about power output, then it would be loonacy to do otherwise. If you HAVE done otherwise, take it back, and get a Focus with the 115bhp lump :)If you then want more power, scoot along to a Diesel specialist like
well said. it's massivley boring.
You should get a job with AOL.

Two troo.
Loads of places do this now.
Tunit and Van Aaken to name two.
Type Diesel Tuning into Google and select "search UK"
On the other hand, you're probably a troll.
allmost as tiresome as it is to reed postes where their are countless speling and gramattical error's.
True, but people can always be pointed in the right direction, and some might actually appreciate learning how to use the English language properly.
I'm up for that. Well, if it's on full pay.

He did ask for "any advice".

He's got the TDDi, Ford engine, not PSA, the 6000 mile service intervals, total POS one.
I reckon they'd get the job as well. The experience is almost directly relevant.

The English advice has been done, so I'll help you with your tuning issue. Short of it is, the engine in your car is pretty poor. Having spoken to the guys at Allard Turbo Sport in Gloucester, they reckon you're looking at change from £500 for a chip. You'll get a little more power, and responsiveness from this. As far as they reckon it's worth considering is
120bhp for this engine. Seriously. That's with an intercooler, and a chip. If you want power, get the 130bhp TDCi engine, which will reliably get you 150bhp with just a chip.Cheers, Andy
Couldn't agree more. A friend of mine once sent me a text saying something like "wot u up 2? call me wen u r 3".
I disowned him immediately. I mean 3 = free??? WTF?
After reading that a couple of times I figured it out. Brilliant!
Oh, and Little Britain last night - Andy Pipkin getting out of his wheelchair to push the car in the way on its side! Superb!
