anybody got their vehicles "chipped"

[doug boardley]

this is the engine, not sure what a turbo looks like, can anyone see if it has one?

Yeah that's got a turbo. The radiator-style thing is an intercooler that puts cool air into the turbo. You'll have a vent (or scoop) in the bonnet to collect cool air as you drive. The two pipes that come off that lead to the turbo but I don't think it's quite in the picture at that angle. I think I can see the turbo actuator there though.

So it's a 2.5 Turbo as Neale said.

Worth remapping if that's the case.

Get in touch with BVR but also that other WOW firm Neale linked to.

You should get more power but it's on a % basis so as it's 114 was it you said? I wouldn't expect loads too much but what you will notice is the delivery of the power will be more even through the rev range and it should feel like it's pulling a lot more as the torque will be more balanced and will increase a bit too.

Get the pollen filter replaced while you're at it. When they clog up they drain power.
