Smee, I wouldn't worry about your power too much - You're already 60BHP per tonne more than me standard out of the factory.
Taking the Kerb weight and factory power into consideration, the Seat Cupra 1.9TDI 3door (160)comes in at 129.2BHP/tonne.
The Bora 1.9 ASZ (PD130) comes in at a measley 71.7BHP/tonne.
Of course, in relatity you don't drive around with a full tank of fuel and another person sat next to you all the time. (Or is it half a tank for kerb weight. Bugger me if I know)
That's also not taking our remaps into consideration either. I can just imagine how quick your Seat really feels.

Garh..!! Another set back! What's that I hear you say? - The joys of modding eh?
It turns out that I now need a PD150 radiator so the PD150 Intercooler can fit directly onto it. Well, I knew this anyway, but I was told on the phone that they can "doctor" the PD130 Radiator to fit - So I got all the way to Gloucester only to find out that he didn't want to attempt it!
Anyways, not all was lost. We compared the PD130 engine bay to a PD150 and we now know the exact differences between the two regarding pipework. I also got to see Allards Motorsport PD150, which is running around 270BHP!! And weighs as much as a rollcage! That thing has some serious modifications including a VT6 Hybrid - Stage 6 conversion! Apparently it came second this year in the championships. It would of came first, but someone cheated. I changed the subject then.
The guys at Allard really seem to know their stuff, and they were actually doing a Stage 4 conversion on an Audi A3 (06 plate) 2.0 TDI Quattro when I got there - That will be pushing 240BHP.
Ok, so figures don't really matter - It's how the drivability of the car turns out after a conversion like that. They say I can get 230BHP from the standard injectors with a VT2 hybrid, which is good for 260BHP, obviously injectors being the limiting factor there.
They also say that with a Hybrid, the car will actually pull to the redline.
For those of you who have a diesel or have drove one - You know when you floor it and you get this sudden whoosh of power, and then it seems to fade away? Well, that's purely to keep the Turbo alive. Allard can map your car so it gives massive power (with standard turbo) right the way through to the redline, however the turbo will not last long at all. Answer? Hybrid! Yess puhleeeeeeez..
Lets see what the cost involved is first
The quest continues..
