Hello
I am a new member from Cyprus but I also own a lovely ds3 1.6 THP
I've been to a european car tunning specialist shop and they gave me a list of available parts that can be fitted to my car and i thought of sharing them here to hear your opinions as well.
1. Aluminium blow off valve--> they told me that the PSA engines come out of the factory with a plastic pulley inside the valve and it breaks very easy ..this has an effect of loss of power and the turbo not running properly. They also told me there is a much better one with an aluminium pulley that replaces the existing one.
2. Bigger intercooler, as the ds3 thp comes with a small intercooler, this might not affect you in the UK too much but here in Cyprus that in our summer we have a blazing hot summer is an issue.
3. Downpipe and racing catalyst. This would replace the half-exhaust giving the car more torque and hp.
4. Bigger turbo
5. Tunning programme--this will lift power to 192bhp and 240 torque, i have a few doubts though as the tunning will be made direct to the car's eCu and not using an external device such as e-manage etc.
6. Backbox exhaust system
7. Racing Bosch spark plugs
