Go tyo another garage explain the issue they maybe able to explain it or check.
Some cars brakes do squeek if there hard race pads or not instralled right or just a bit funny often copper greese etc fixes it.
Stock is 1.2 bar so not sure Im trusting your mapper realy
More boost doesn't mean either more power or more potential power as the extra boost might not be much use.
You could up the boost 1.3 is where the wastegate kicks in but this could be adjusted but the point is the engine not going to...
The internals of the engine for the 65 and 80 are the same.
could push the turbo furthere for more boost but its not going to take much more effficiently if you want a reasonable amount of useful extra boost (after all 2 bar means nothing if the airs hot and the turbines restricting flow.
as I said earlier 80 injectors and the 8- intercoolr makes you engine for all intents and purpose a 80 engine. jusst missing a small bit of boost. How muchy power you get depends what turbo you use and how ddfar you will push it there one owner on here who got 137hp with a bigger turbo and...
Sounds like the aux belt might need changing /checking its not working and not charging your battery and possibly not powering the rack which could have damaged it. Fix that first but the rack sounds like the tie rod ends etc might be worn. The leaking pipe needs fixing at the same time that...
On the phase 1's the filters are external, on the phase 2's bar a few early 172's they are all in the tank.

There is tuff you can do with the engine but gains are small unless you spend a but a remap won't get that sort of power gains though...
Bigger injecotrs beyond 80 are more difficult to do since there arn't any hence why most people just max them out with a big turbo vs bigger injecotrs which the standard turbo could make the same power with.
CES sells them cheap to trade. I think I paid £6 or so a side for mine.
Eurocar parts isn't cheap for them they want something like £25/30 a side.
Easy enough to replace just need to do the tracking after.
have a look on moneysavving expert there a guide takes some time but is good.
Try to limit your milage and let other older preferably females drive the car but removing people can sometimes make it cheaper so you need to mess about.
I don't see what the lads did wrong realy. Or is that just me? Sounds to me like the vandal got some sort of justice maybe they were a bit hard but Im sure we would have been calm and collected if you caught someone spray painting your car and would have pointed out to the guy its Ok will not...
