right, well after laying the punto up as a long termer until i find a cheap turbo lump to drop in, I"m concentrating my efforts on the A4.She's already chipped which made her a bit more perky but i'm refusing to draw the line there. visually complete(18" RS4 rims and a drop makes it so) thoughts turn to a bit more grunt. so time to tune the tractor.Not wanting to go down the route of changing injectors and fitting beefy cams(1)( i'm thinking about a nice shiny stainless and a proper remap(to replace the cheap n nasty effort fitted).anyway prattle over. what the hell will a derv be like with a stainless single box system, will i have people pointing me towards my nearest John Deere dealership or will it actually sound not to bad? i'm worried(1) this is just a temporary cessation. normal stupidity will be resumed after the summer thinking 220-250 horse bus :)

What's the point of a gearbox when you have a TDi with a house full of torque and 6th is good for 40-140+ (apparently, though I wouldn't know)?

I do however have a video of one cruising through the south of Spain at 250kph. I haven't had my car much above 115mph (on the gps) but you seem to run out of private road quite quickly at 50m/s. (We need more long stretches of private road in the UK or I need to spend more time on the autobahn)
