Good luck with the mods.
Not something I'm into (with this car) but will be interested to see the results.  :)

I think you'll need to visit your local high performance auto shop to get an idea of what your options may be, remapping would be my first suggestion for a diesel.

Agree about getting a remap but wouldn't you wait and do it once the bigger turbo and inter cooler are installed?

Don't forget about high flow exhaust.

True! depending on how much power you're after though...a remap alone might be sufficient :undecided: which is why jesam needs to speak to a performance shop to get some figures and weigh up the options - cost vs power.
