Angel Tuning for your diesel
Just had my '05 Renault Espace 2.2dci tuned by this lot after recommendations from an Alfa web site.
Totally amazing results, it's like driving a different car. Before it suffered from near dangerous turbo lag - especially in 1st from a
standstill.
Now it pulls sure smoothy in every gear, hardly any turbo lag, bags more torque, and now just a pleasure to drive, unlike the lagging slow bugger it
was before.
If anybody on here is thinking about it - go for it. £325 incl VAT well spent, I now have a car that feels like a 3ltr V6.
Apparently the power is up around 45bhp, and the torque even more. They do it by properly re-mapping the ECU - not by adding a piggyback chip - took
the guy around 21/2 hours to do.
Talking to the chap on the phone he said he's just done a whole fleet of ambulances with the same engine....

It´s a good choice.
Re-mapping the ECU increase the torque and the power, optimize the engine (decrease fuel consumption). How can it do that?
Increase pressure (and temperature) in the cylinder with an over-work of the turbo. Be carefull with the turbo and enjoy it.
Cheers!! and sorry for my english

They don't increase the boost pressure very much, it was the first thing I asked him....

There are a lot of cars with re-mapping and 0 troubles, but increase the boost pressure(not so much).
They could work with other parametters, like fuel injection rate (need more oxigen in the chamber, need more pressure) and smoke limit.
I remember the first re-mapped cars, great torque, great power, great baboom!!! jeje. But today things are so different. I repeat you´ve done a good
choice.
Cheers!

Cost me £17 for a bleed valve for me 1.5td Corsa. Some free pump mods and off we go. Very Quick.
Allegedly the power is up from 66bhp to around 95 with much better response, driveability and torque, including 55mpg that I wasn't getting
before.
Runs very nice on Tescos finest (cheapest) oil
