   how much power can i get out of a 2.0 HDi, xsara, 2 years old. it's normal now, with 66kW, or 90bhp.
   
   i was thinking of ecu, enclosed air filter, and rear exhaust (full flow backbox) for beginning
   
   
   what else do you recommend?

   you can normally get another 30% with a diesel tuning box.

   you mean i cant go as high as VW goes with 1.9 TDi engines?
   they were 90bhp, 110bhp and 130bhp. i think they developed 150bhp later
   i can go up to 130...
   
   i suppose that everything that was working on a petrol engine, works here (like manifolds, de-catting, full flow exhaust, air filter, ECU)?

   not sure on teh ins and outs of a turbo diesel with regards fueling and the high compression. Though i imagine you would treat it as a petrol turbo, better air filter, larger intercooler, free flwoing exhaust, remap etc...
   
   normally with tuned turbo diesels its the massive torque that makes them so devistating particularly in gear acceleration
