you're best of looking on pug306.net.

It's a standard XUD9 engine, fairly tunable as its all mechanical.

you really want to be looking at first of all removing the EGR valve actuator, then a decent air filter (K&N panel filter is good, induction kit a waste of money due to under bonnet temps) then cranking up the boost and fuelling.

Front mounted intercooler is next, but the engines running 120bhp+ tend to explode fairly regularly.

All nice and cheap to do though, so you can save for a 306 GTI!

what about the 2.0 HDi engine?
Is it as simple to tune or is it a remap effort?

Remap or tunning box, remember with a box you can remove it and sell it on seperately when selling the car in the future.
