Many 207 owners upgrade their turbos with bigger wheels, to make them more efficient and powerful. The following upgrade stage combines Upgraded camshafts (boubiscams) with a JCW compressor wheel on the turbo. The owner wanted to have different boost levels available: Low boost for daily driving and high boost for performance.
This was done by installing a traditional boost controlled wastegate on the turbo instead of the stock vacuum controlled unit. A manual boost controller now gives the owner the capability of increasing or decreasing boost and the ECU remap allows that to happen without check-engine lights and faults.

At 3500rpm it is already producing 150bhp, exceeding by far the stock performance everywhere above that.
