      So I suggest waking up a little and to not be so dismissive. 230 hp and 350lbs is not to be sniffed at in a light fr wheel drive car. Plus what a45 does he mean? Because it would keep up with an early one easy. A new one not so easy especially.
      Off the line it has no chance, rolling it has plenty.

    looking at buying a used Octavia TDI with some intent on tuning, however I have concerns about emissions (passing MOT etc.) so I want to keep the stock down-pipe (and dpf if i go for a newer car) so I am looking at just upgrading the turbo (and injectors, if it would help) is this a realistic expectation, if so what would be best out of a 1.9-PD105, 2.0-PD140 2.0-CR140 or the CR150 from the mk7 platform? any advice would be welcome

      They never did a 4-Motion Fabia VRS but this could be done with parts from other models. Its a lot of work, adds weight and can take the fun out of a FWD but it will help put the power down for sure.
