We recently remapped this Astra H SRi 2.0 Turbo model. The 3 door model with the Z20LEL engine leaves the factory with 170PS and was booked in for a repalcement 70mm pre-cat removal pipe, a high flow panel filter, ECU remapping and full rollinh road set up.

Once on the rolling road after an initial inspection and run up a split factory recirculation valve was diagnosed which was causing a loss of boost, and if left can lead to turbo failure. This was replaced with one of our Courtenay TurboSmart uprated recirculation valves which are a much stronger and better made unit removing the rubber insert of the OE unit that tears causing the failure of the OE valve.

After full datalogging, bespoke mapping and optimisation the car produced a very respectable 224 bhp and 255 lb ft of torque, an excellent result from a 96,000 mile engine. The torque was been kept nice a smooth from 2,700 rpm – 5,000rpm without a peak mid range torque spike which can lead to  problems for the factory clutches causing them to slip.
