ECU map on a V50
Im thinking about getting a ECU map from D5T5 vdash for my volvo 1.6d 81kw v50. Stage 2 to be precise around 20%more hp . My engine is in perfect working condition and has a run of 200k Km. Im considering to get it or is there a reason why i should avoid this?

The 1.6D has significant issues with the oil feed into the turbo and it starving the turbo bearings. It can cause serious blow-by and even a catastrophic runaway when the turbo is not properly maintained.
I expect that putting more stress on the engine will only make the risk of the engine failing worse than it already is.
If it's the newer D2 (41612 engine code) there's a lot less reliability problems, I would have no issues with remapping that.
