Nice one....well that you sorted for year or so.....Good time of year for a service too, now it's getting a bit chillier. Enjoy Matey!
 
Did you have it dyno'd?

My 170 had a fair amount of turbo lag which was reduced massively by a remap. Found I didn't have to drop it down a gear in a lot of circumstances whereas I did before.
 
didn't get it dynod but didn't go for a big power curve aimed for a more linear delivery of power, I know what u meant about the lag all good now
 
Is your DPF still intact ? I heard that keeping it in and remapping will greatly reduce the life of the Filter
 
I kept the egr intact and the the dpf for now just had the egr cleaned out, if I removed the egr at some point then I will have to get the guts of the dpf removed as well to prevent said blockage ;-)
