Is there any way to make a 2.2dti quicker.

[arnie_barney]

I have a 2.2dti sri with a steinbauer tunning box.
Done the air box mod and have a green filter.

It's not sluggish but is there any way to get more power or is that it.

Is it worth de-cating the exhaust?

[John LE]

Definatly worth getting a decat and a free flowing exhaust mate.

After that you'll be looking to upgrade turbos etc (my next move)

When was it last serviced and what grade of oil are you using?

[arnie_barney]

I do all my own work and serviced it about 3 months ago. I bought a 40 gallon drum of semi-syn oil from Vauxhall for about £140 and am using that.

Does taking the cat off make much of a differance?
Is there an increase in noise, especailly at gear changes?

Changed my bananna bars on rear suspension 2 nights ago after 1 1/2 years on. Weak part or poor design of the vec.

Custom turbo

NOS

It should make the car pull alot smoother. You may not notice much of a difference in noise though. Taking the centre silencer out would make a difference to the noise.

Did you change the diesel filter when you serviced it?

[arnie_barney]

Didn't change the diesel filter. I don't change it that often as I don't think it makes much differance. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[John LE]

Congealed diesel can clog up the filter and if there should be any crap in the tank it would filter that too

[nutron]

I was going to suggest a tow...
If there is no smoke then you could happily stick in more diesel or another fuel (methanol/ethanol/propane/butane).
depends how far you want to go?

The fuel filter is the thing that protects the fuel pump, should be changed every 2 years at the latest, more frequently if high mileage.
