Fool looking to get into a connect

Postby skipper_mtb » Sat Aug 10, 2019 12:35 pm

Hi all, I'm totally new to the world of connects and vans in general to be honest so assume no knowledge at all! I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some compatible performance upgrades that might be out there. I'm considering purchasing an 09 plate 1.8 TDCi T230 LWB in the future (if it wont be that one specifically it will definitely be a gen 1). Has anyone had any good experiences with any specific intake or exhaust system working alongside a remap? Cheers

TBH, not much, unless you want to spend loads on a diesel work horse lump. De-cat and a custom exhaust (there isn't an off the shelf exhaust upgrade), air filter then re-map is about all it's worth in my opinion. If you have plenty of dosh, have someone drop an early Focus RS lump in it! That's what I wanna do!... Dreams are good though lol

All the best mate.

Cheers for getting back, not quite got the cash for an engine swap quite yet haha! Sounds like sticking to the filter and remap is gonna be the best fit for me then, thanks for steering me in the right direction mate
