Thought i'd post rather than call.....

Anyway i have a mate with a Audi A4 1.9 tdi (130bhp) who is looking for...

A) more power throughout the range and..
B) better mpg

what can you offer matey?? is there anything custom you can do with a diesel? or is it just a chip and raised boost/fuel pressure?

sadly my knowldege on TD's is pitiful so i thought i'd better ask

ultimately he'd like better mpg (cruising obviously) with an increased power band if possible,and if he can get more miles,then price isn't a big issue 'cos it kinda pays for itself

The 130 will gain approx 30BHP and and 50lb of torque as well as a few more MPG.

The engine is mapped live out on teh road and teh cost is Ł375 all in.

No Problem at all pal, see the website to cross reference his ECU numbers to a price and gain estimate.

Out of interest, How come cars with a turbo gain more from a remap? If me and my friend get are cars re-mapped at MSD which we are saving for, He will gain 30BHP and i will gain 7BHP. He's a c*nt.
