While im not expecting our Maxi Life WAV to be burning rubber i find the 102ps 1.6 ('12) lethargic until it hits almost 2.5k revs and stuggles under 1.5k revs. Appreciate its a heavy bus with the WAV mods (2.3 tonnes?) but is there any way of making the Caddy more spritely?

Re: Slow!
You can have it remapped upto about 140bhp fairly easily, that should make quite a bit of a difference. Just don’t forget to tell your insurance.
As far as I’m aware, getting any more power will require upgraded turbo etc and that’s getting into big money.
Where are you based? Someone may know a reputable engine tuner near you. Expect to pay in the region on £3-400 for a 140 remap.

Re: Slow!
Thanks for the reply. Wouldn't mind trying the 140bhp map to see if it makes a difference. Based in Glasgow so if anyone knows a reputable tuner in the Central Belt id be much obliged 🖒
