Diesel tuning - not the normal question....

[off_again]

Ok, its pretty common to get the tuning boxes and chips for most diesels, including BMW models. But, does anyone know if there is anyone out there who can do the more extreme tuning on BMW diesels?

What I was wondering about are the options for say a £5000 530d (with the 184BHP engine) and then doing the bigger turbo, bigger injectors and maybe intercooler (but not sure if the 184 model has one). I would have thought that you should be getting 260+BHP with a major make-over and it would be a bit of a road burner. Ok, driveability wont be brilliant, but there are loads of options for the likes of Land Rover and their diesels, wondering what is available for BMW....

Anyone have any ideas?
