Any of the Plug in boxes are good, give you an instant jump in power & Torque..

i have one, another brand but very impressive.

Powerklick seems rather expensive at £200ish IMHO, although looks like a good product....
There are loads of plug-ins available on Ebay, mine cost £50 delivered from Germany, and works fine.....
If you have a PD TDi engine the modules are even cheaper...... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Excuse my thickness, what does a 2001 2.5 V6 TDI have? Its the 110kw engine.

The later TDi engines (2000/2001-on, not exactly sure ) dispensed with the big high pressure rotary diesel injection pump and became the pumpe deuse (PD) engines as these had a small pump/injector unit on each cylinder instead, which gave more power.
Until today I would've thought that a 2001 V6 TDi was a PD engine, until I looked the engine up on ETKA and saw only the 4 cylinder 1.9 engine was a PD unit; at that time the 6 cylinder diesel retained the older style injection-pump arrangement.
Hope this helps.

Yup mines ye olde mechanical pump, I just taken a tuning box off my V6 TDI as it caused the clutch to slip and shudder on accelleration and puff out tons of black smoke, although its not a quick now.

 

[imported_kris_tdi]

what is the difference between the 150 and the 180 v6 engine then?
i know the turbo is everso slightly different but what else?

Mine is the AKE engine, as far as I know its got uprated crank and con rods and a couple of mods compared to the non AKE version

The box is still on the car owdgit, Ive not thought about selling, I paid £110 for it which I might sell and put the ££ towards a proper remap, I think the box might be more suitable for the 150bhp V6 TDI

 

[owdgit]

Mike, mine is the 110kw, do you think it would fit? If so let me know how much you want and when you want to sell.
