  • THP owner but not DS3

    Hello all, I am Ryan and from Leeds.

    I dont drive a DS3 unfortunately, I have signed up as my car shares a similar engine (THP) and thought it could be useful to have a look around here for engine tuning etc

    after planning for over 1 and a half year to buy a DS3 1.6 THP, in red with black alloys & roof, chrome mirror caps & a full leather interior, i ended up backing out because I didnt want to commit financially as much as i loved and wanted the car!

    ended up buying a 2008 peugeot 207 GT THP as it was half the cost of the DS3 and I really liked it

    heres the car












    as you may see car is slightly modified i have -

    Forge motorsport replica induction kit
    Forge recirculation BOV kit
    2.5" cat back exhaust
    rear windows tinted
    FK lowering springs

    next step is remap which I am soooo excited for, will most likely be Etuners stage 2, which is quoted around 205BHP and 230ft-lb torque, up from 150BHP and 180ft-lb torque, they seem to be the biggest name around for these cars I see

    Welcome to the club

    Nice looking car. Have a chat to Jamie at SP Tuning before you go ahead with your remap elsewhere, he really knows his stuff

            thanks guys, interested to talk to jamie actually as he is on the etuners website as a "contact"

            would much prefer to use someone in the UK tbh, and his location isnt too far from me, any feedback/reviews from his mapping of the thps you could link me plz

                    I had the 207 GTI nice car, shame about the engine. I was a member of 207oc.com try them they will have a lot more info for you and ADS site owner is running a GTI with over 250bhp and lots of forge stuff on it. You might find out that the car could be a old members car.
                    2012 Dsport +, white with black roof. Stubby aerial, Alloy DS3 tax disc holder, Alloy black and silver dustcaps and 3D Gel carbon affect plates. Now with kawasaki green painted brakes.

                      yer i know the THPs are still problamatic to this day! but lots of success stories also..

                      i am a member of 207oc have had the car for a while now, if any previous member once owned my car nobody knows about it, signed up on ds3club specifically for info on the THP engine, see what kind of set ups you guys run etc
