Chip it mate, diesels respond briliantly to chipping cos they are quite restricted as standard, you'd probably get around 12 - 18 bhp just by getting a decent chip on it.

erm no they aren't!!!!
all you need is :
1. turbo and exhaust manifold from a 1.5 td
2. turbo hoses from a 1.5 td
3. inlet manifold from 1.5 td
4. td fuel pump

so all that will just go straight on ma 1.7?
what kind of performance increase am i lookin at, top speed, bhp and 0-60 time? what about if i fit dump valve and chip it?
also i get about 52 miles per gallon now, would that drop alot or improve?
because i was thinkin about a seat ibiza 1.9 TDI, 130 bhp, which is 0-60 9.1 secs, top speed 129mph and 55.4 miles per gallon.
cheers for any advice

dump valve is a wate of time, cant chip it, you do the tweek in the tutorials section. mpg will only drop if you drive like a wally.

i had a quote from www.tunitbirmingham.co.uk for a unit they put onto a diesel corsa which took it to 82bhp and 156 lbs/ft. This unit would have cost 450 fitted.
