the figures for the hdi, did you simply add them up or have it "benched"
you cant really go by quoted power gains on these performance parts
as an example, the subuaru i had was 280bhp as standard, fitted with a +40bhp chip, uprated fuel rail, fuel regulator, recirc valve, bigger injectors, more powerful fuel pump, ram air intake with strictly cold air supply & exhaust .. added all up the car should have been pushing more than 400bhp
roll roaded at 336bhp if i remember and only achieved 342bhp after a further remap. including a competition clutch (that only lasted 23,000 miles), that lot cost more than 6,000 GPB .... or 13,000 dollors on exchange rate.
and thats on a naturally high asperating car. given the gains on percentage, a smaller horsey powered smoker would not gain as much
the passat tdi i have now is rated at 130bhp, i havent altered it apart from a air filter to allow better breathing and outweigh replacement elements. its quick and does over 50mpg treated right, the f'kin scoobby only did 4-12mpg
oh the money spent adding to al gores pie chart figures!

awesome car, i like it.... I hear you guys on the ticket magnets, I had a cop fly across the throughway through a u turn median friday on my way in to work just because he saw me, i wasnt speeding or doing anything wrong he just wanted to hit me with the radar gun so I can clearly see where this is going :-)
Updated with a couple pics, these were taken on my iphone so be gentle with me haha.
The color really doesnt show but im awful at taking photos too. First thing on the agenda is ordering the SPT grille tomorrow because I dont care for the factory one. Also will be ordering the SPT CBE.
