    Hi mate, not gonna get much more power from the 1.5D

    Are you looking for more power/speed or just noise/looks?

    have you got an ECU if you havent you can get an induction kit and turn the fueling manually

    no way!!!!!! are you serious?????

    in all fairness you will never get much power out of a diesel sax your best bet is to make it sound nice and look good.

    a kam racing exhaust would do both making it sound nice(get the middle silencer on a diesel) and also looks good if you get the stainless back box.

    If you want to do diesel tuning, best of really with a 2L hdi, can pull a nice 200bhp on stds out of them.

    But for the Saxo diesel not really worth it imo

    Don't waste your time/money. They're not worth the effort.
