What's the end goal in power you're trying to achieve?
Well the car i got is supposed to be 365hp,but i'm doubting that.It has darkside downpipe,dpf delete,supersprint exhaust,Wagner intercooler and stage 2 remap???.Paperwork shows all fitted but nothing more.I would have thought the fueling side would need upgrading as well for these figures

No chance its 365, not with the stock turbo. will be 280-320 depending on who did the tuning. What engine code do you have? Never the less you will need to upgrade the stock turbo.

CAP006977 is engine no.is this the code
Thats a CAPA engine code with a manual gearbox. If you already have some of the bolt on parts you may only be missing a few sensors and a decent tune to get out of it.
There are alot of cheap hybrids out there with only compressor wheel upgrades often the turbine is left stock (creates alot of back of pressure which kills power) or they have a heavy larger wheel which can kill spool. My hybrids have a custom made compressor wheels with light weight turbines, however like I said you may just need a decent tune on it.

Drop me a email [email protected]

I've been working on these engine for a while now and posted up my build thread if you are bored:

All sensors in the pic look stock, turbo intake pipe and MAF look stock - so if you actually do have a hybrid you not getting the best out of it.
First job would be to measure the turbo wheels and drop the downpipe to check if you have larger turbine or not.
This is more than just a tuning job and i need a few days with the car
Like i said drop me a email if you want this done

Cheers

Evonut, is this your car?

As said, Bobby is your man! Watching the video, big Turbo, DPF delete, exhaust, intercooler, meth and only 10bhp more than Bobby gets from a stock car! :) I do know of a member on here who spent all day at Darkside and got 280bhp! I got 310bhp from a quick remap elsewhere. The forum member had it re-remapped by Bobby and is much happier!

Check out Bobby's sig to see the end goal of what you could get! :D

That can't be his car, that car had a bigger MAF, silicon TIP, GTB2566vk, CP3, bigger rail sensor, red vinyl wrap and was given away as a competition.

His engine bay looks stock.
Ah, ok, just saw Darkside tuned and the silver engine bay :)

Just to reiterate what has already been said.
My mate spent over £1800 on 4 different remaps with various tuners on his 3.0 tdi and in the end it was Bobby Singh who got the best out of the car.
This man knows his stuff and gives good honest advice about what you can expect - and he does not disappoint.
Never mind the bhp figure's, just the way the car drove, it totally transformed the car.

Bobby when this lockdown is over, we will be back with another 3.0 tdi for you to work your magic on .
