What's the best way to increase Torque/BHP on a Diesel?

[KevWak]

Thanks for the info guys.

This thread IS my initial research before I go contacting suppliers/garages.

Santa, what would you recommend for my 2.0D 136bhp S40 as none of you're links would apply to me specifically! Plus the prices are in €.

EDIT: I'm located between Swindon and Oxford.

If you go to www.rica-uk.com then the prices are in GBP. Alternatively, just click on the button at the top right to change the country from Netherlands to United Kingdom.

alfa 156 2.4 jtd got remapped, 136bhp standard, 173bhp after and monster torque, better fuel economy too, i would recommed a remap. only negative was a little more smoke out the back when booting it, but i think that was the engine giving up :-)

Isnt the 2.4 jtd 185 standard ?

That looks pretty good. Do I have to take it to a garage for them to do or do I buy the map with the hardware to load it?

Sorry for all the noob questions.

No worries mate, thats what forums are for.

I'd recommend going to a garage or even letting them come to you. I think several tuners offer maps by post though. (Believe Rica does and they post you a isoftloader but I would recommend having a mechanic look over the car before the map).

I've just come across the RR day at HLM. Now this is getting tempting!
