ment to be running 190 bhp was told it flys in 1st and second the turbo kicks in very early on standard acutator usein bleed valve to get 12psi but top speed its not very good had 120 out of it on an arrage road but odesnt seem to be mutch power towars the end of mid range and then top speed anyone know why this could be dont know mutch about car
could it be its not set up properly and may be running lean high rpm and top speed? or cud it be the low compresion pistions makein it better at bottom end and takein top end away i have owned 3 so far one my first standard one went stright to 130 on the same road

As you said stage 2 would help but t3 is just what you need for top end/mid. Your car won't be running 190bhp your power will be more like 150 to 170bhp is it was set up

As above mate. The 165 chip means you are still running the standard blue injectors so 190bhp is just a dream. 155-170bhp will be nearer the mark.
Personally I would rather see a T3 on there as even a hybrid T2 struggles to deliver the goods as the engine consumes the air quicker than the turbo can produce it.
Which cam are you running and which intercooler as these are vital bits of kit to get right to achieve results

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

not sure wot the cam is but goes loads from about 2k to 4.5 may be 5 then fisels out a bit the intercooler is in the standard place and is twice as thick as normal one pace one think it is. cant realy aford to be buyin turbos and thiers allways a risk of it been doddgy and mine is spot on. do u recon doing the stage to and runnin 15 psi wud push it to 130 easy rather than 120 and how mutch more petrol are these injectors gonna use and do they still use lots drivin slow speeds. and also never got told which chip it was and it doesnt have 165 on it it has no writein not even say ofac or which ever it is the lad who i bought it off said for more power wud need injectors and fuel pump pretty sure its not the 195 chip on it though or cud it run with standard injectors

It sound like it's a stage 1 chip if you can't aford t3 i would just pay to have it R/R tuned around the £130-£160 ish as long as it's a good tunner you will drive away and feel a big differents and they will tell you if there's any thing wrong with the car then save up for the t3 you can start getting all the part's over time that would help with the costjamesdawson70 :not sure wot the cam is but goes loads from about 2k to 4.5 may be 5 then fisels out a bit the intercooler is in the standard place and is twice as thick as normal one pace one think it is. cant realy aford to be buyin turbos and thiers allways a risk of it been doddgy and mine is spot on. do u recon doing the stage to and runnin 15 psi wud push it to 130 easy rather than 120 and how mutch more petrol are these injectors gonna use and do they still use lots drivin slow speeds. and also never got told which chip it was and it doesnt have 165 on it it has no writein not even say ofac or which ever it is the lad who i bought it off said for more power wud need injectors and fuel pump pretty sure its not the 195 chip on it though or cud it run with standard injectors

definately not 190bhp. my old fiesta had full rebuild, stage 2 t3, piper285t cam, cossie fuel pump, preo alloy front mount cooler and @ 13psi that made 178 or 176 bhp i cant remember which. but if you get the car set up on the rollers it will make a very noticeable difference.
but if you are looking for the 190 - 200hp mark you will need an urapted actuater, better fuel pump, beige 701 injectors and a stage 2 chip.
and yeah the t3 will have a lot more bottle on top end, but a bit slower on low end acceleration
