My brother has one of the plug in boxes from Powerklick on his Golf TDi taking it from 150hp to 180hp.Only cost £249 and the car flies - made a 800 miles round trip with him a couple of weeks ago and it still did 50mpg.Took 10 mins to fit and was delivered next day.
My cousin has a Van Aaken plug in box on his TDi Mondeo but they are a bit dearer about £400 but it is the same idea taking the car from 130hp to 155hp.If I had a diesel one of these plug in boxes would be the first thing i would buy.

Carnt see the point in spending cash on a second car if your first car is like 350+bhp as it will still be dog slow

From a standing start maybe, but I bet the torque is pretty much on a par and it's lighter too.

i would say that you should get one . It wont only free up some horses, but the car will be better on diesel.
my golf went 40<60 mls better on a tank.
but that bein said DONT get one from ebay ,you will get a load of old poo poo. Get in touch with the likes of Van Aaken .
