88 inch of pure pleasure Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hi guys I have a td5 defender my current pride and joy,anyhow in the passion for power it's had a bas remap and a straight through!! Very happy with the poke it has not so much the mpg it returns but hey!!im after more gooooo now though so a boost box and a intercooler upgrade are needed I feel? The question is would I have to have it remapped as I don't fancy shelling out more cash for another remapp? Thanks paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martifers Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Paul. You wouldn't see noticeable gains by just purchasing the intercooler alone without a remap. A boost box is only required if the turbo is over boosting, this doesn't usually happen until you have a stage 2 remap. The 'boost box' doesn't increase boost, but removes the engines limit on boost, in effect allowing over boost. I had IRB stage 2 with intercooler and was finding the engine going into limp mode when 'enthusiastically accelerating', a sure sign of overboost. I then had a boost box fitted and this solved the issue. I don't know about BAS but i know if you go to IRB for a remap and then go back for future work / upgrades later, the remap is discounted depending on the work being done. Worth asking Pete at BAS, if not, Ian at IRB (who works closely with Pete from BAS) probably would. You've opened a can of worms here though ha ha more power...... ha ha careful you'll be talked into a hybrid variable geometry turbo soon HTH Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
