The first one i had mapped from 130BHP to 169 BHP went from 310 NM to 405NM of torque a T4 is 300NM standard, so less than a pre mapped VAG 1.9TDi 130.
A properly mapped VAG TDi is an absolute sledge hammer of an engine.
My Mum had a 170TDi A3 Quattro remapped to 205BHP and 415NM after she got rid of her Superchipped Leon FR 150TDi, it also had the EGR blanked, mildly breathed on Turbo and the DPF removed so it was probably pushing out a bit more than the quoted 205/415, that was an astonishingly quick point to point car and it would still do 60+ MPG.
BHP is largely irrelevant when talking about Diesels, Skyship, you should know this, i would imagine your 115BHP 1.9D would easily outrun my 136BHP petrol V40 in a straight line.
Annoyingly there are no maps for the 2.0 N/A Petrol, its a perfectly acceptable unit for the Car but a bit more Go wouldn't go amiss
