Do drive around 75 miles before reporting back on the gains.

Correct me if im wrong, But the ecu needs to learn all the new sensors from the new engine to get its full potential, 75 miles like liam said should do it.
Thats wen the gains should be most noticable

with my 1242 it was best when it was just done lol (but then again one of my sensors went very soon after doing the swap, probably disturbed it doing the swap )

It can take longer before it really settles in, I'd say it's possibly as much as 300 miles sometimes.
Emm, break the golden rule of yours when it's settled. They pull hard up to 5800 - 6000 revs, but also have a lot more low end torque.
Have a go, even if it's just one mad 0-100 run A bloke at work thought I was insane the other day when I told him I'd probably hit 6000 revs six or seven times on the way into work - apparently he has never had his car anywhere near the redline.. but his is a Dirty Diesel!

Diesel's tend to snap cambelts when you redline them, must be why most use a chain.

Only if badly maintained. Have you seen any MOT garages with warnings about proper maintenance on Diesel engines? According to the testers handbook they're supposed to rev them into the governer (Dirty Diesel term for a rev limiter) several times for the emissions / smoke check - unless they've changed the manual recently.

How long's your trip to work? It takes me the whole of my journeys just to get my engine warm, so I hardly ever redline it
I've known MOT testers to ask if the car if a diesel when it's belt was changed but most go easy on them due to the pop factor.fixitagaintomorrow said:

14 miles each way, and the beauty of working shifts is that when I go to work on a morning setting off at 6am there's very little traffic. This can be A Good Thing, seeing as though the drive is a mix of 30/40 limits plus a goodly amount of 60 limit back roads and a spot of dual carriageway.

You do right though taking it steady, easiest way to kill an engine is to thrash it when it's cold.
