Re: MOT FAIL on emissions
So what did mine blow with a new turbo fitted and fuse in ?
It had previously failed at 1.98 with ' the fuse ' pulled as it was visably in trouble and on the back foot against the 0.6 plate value .

Remapping has more to do with clutch failure than big ends bearing failure .

Replace the bearing shells ASAP the upper ones have a nasty habit of wearing through and spot welding to the crank and kicking a leg out of bed .

Re: Anyone else fitted a pedal box?
I completely echo your experience with a Sprint Booster on the Merc and it had more of a difference than the remapping despite gaining 120 Nm .

Re: Turbo Upgrade Options
I think FMIC only really comes into play with prolonged WOT openings to keep intake and EGT's temps down like when on track , a quick squirt to overtake 5 cars isn't going to come into play much .
