The only performance gains to be met would be if you physically removed the DPF.
Otherwise, it begs the question, what is it you're trying to achieve?
If it's performance then why would you buy a Diesel V50?
Why not sell it and get a V50 T5? At least they don't have a DPF, so no mucking about.
Surely the point of having a performance car is getting one that's half way there already!?
Next your going to tell me it's a 1.6 diesel.....to which I'll reply, why bother?
Maybe I'm missing the point??
