    I've tried a few things. Best gains are from a remap and a decent air filter. The turbo on mine with remap boosts over 30psi according to my boost gauge. That is before my current unfathomable total loss of boost.
    "I am never wrong! Just in a position to learn something new!"
    Mods so far, HLM ReMap, Goodridge brake lines, Eibach springs lowering 35mm, K&N57i filter with cold air, Strut brace, Shark fin aerial, Boost guage
    YES IT'S A DIESEL
    Wish list, BOV, 18" rims, Struts, Stainless exhaust, Injector Upgrade, MORE POWER!

    A clutch on these require a DMF as well normally,which will normally cost more than the car is worth.
