Cheers guys, I will wait and have a look!I do plan a lot of engine modifications, this isn't just for show/banter, it's a legitimate stage I will be taking to improve engine performance in the near future.

I'm happy just using the 1Z TDI engine, it's fun enough and will do me for this year. Got to start somewhere.
The point is that it is not a easy engine to tune and even with loads of work and money I think you would lucky to see 120 to 130bhp out of it.
