Smile New kind on the block, hi...

The car; 2006/7 Chrysler 300c CRD 218bhp or should be estate or wagon.
Had it for 3 years now, not with some problems, but she is an old girl, and has about 225K klm on the clock. Love the look of them they are out on their own.

I thought the crazy idea to remap it, remove the DPF filter disable the swirl flaps and the EGR to be shut down, In the hope I would get , umm about 268 to 275 BHP. The DPF, EGR and the swirl flaps are all done. But I was then told they could not remap it. Um and why, I said ? .. it seems the turbo boost is down, they said its probably, due to air leak in a hose or something, as its kind of unstable, also to add to the fun, it seems the fuel pressure is also down, it seems probably due to carbon choke up and maybe bad seal in the inlet manifold, OOOhh deep joy, but they ran it up on the rolling road even with DPF and other bits done, max output is about 197 bhp shaft, and 157.8 bhp at the wheel, with around 498 torque. Ouch, way off the line even from standard. They suggested I find a garage, to change turbo noses or find where the air leak is coming from and fix it, and also have the inlet manifolds taken out, cleaned right out of all the carbon crap, and put new seals and bits to reinstall. Not sure of that cost, I would think its a good 1 or 2 days for a mechanic, but I maybe wrong. Anyway, they said, after I have had this done, bring it back and they should be able to complete the remap, hopefully given me around 260+BHP.Question is, has anyone had the same or similar problems or has anyone any advice /help type advice, input regard these problem, or thanks….
