Sorry to hear about the turbo. What mods had you put on there, and for how long were the mods on?
Do you think it was just unlucky, or that the mods had something to do with it?

Why would you need the map putting back on? Nothing wrong with the ECU there?
Price doesnt sound too bad and at least you know Awesome will do what needs to be done.

When you say whistleing how noticeable was it? I have noticed mine making a little more noise at lower revs than i remebered from when i first got it.
Was it really obvious?

on tick oer when you rev the engine in between 1000 to 2000rpm you could really hear it,some times it sounded like a police car was following you
sorry the map just needs fine tuneing with the new turbo..

Smugster I got a noticable whistle and drop in performance when my dv had failed. The diaphragm had split. Its a chaep fix and a diy if your handy. Best to get your fault code read first to give you a better idea.
Hope this helps

i was thinking of putting a bigger turbo the price i got quoted was £1900 all in for a stage 2 but in the long run i would have to upgrade the clutch & because it will need more diesel going through the injectors thier wil be more smoke which i didn't want.
mine has only been remapped, with no other mods on the engine
