Remap is the big one. Can bring them close to 190-200 bhp with moutains of torque  :drool:
Still sounds like a tractor though imo  :embarassed:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

I had my last 4 diesel cars remapped through Superchips and didn't have any issues with them.

Other reputable tuners are Custom Code, APR, REVO, GIAC.

Then there are the Tunit modules you can buy and fit yourself.

Defo a re map exhaust even more important if you have a dpf as this needs to be removed, airfilter
thats it before going onto bigger things.

Plus some companies will do it as a stage= stage 2 i think covers remap exhaust airfilter
