I have an Audi A4 S Line 2.0L TDI 140 bhp model

I have already had my engine re mapped stage 1 but was wondering what do I do next to get more power and torque. Would love to get up to 250 bhp I think I'm running just below 190 now.

Recommendations would be great as I have no idea where to start, thanks!
 
now mate, i've got the same car, a good map and that'll do nice for the 140, trust me when i say sell it and buy a 3.0 if you want the power,

you'll end up needing a turbo, clutch, and exhaust for a start all that = mega £££'s

i got a lot of cash in mine to get it looking what i think is nice and somewhere near what i've been used to driving and it it just ends up costing a fortune and being less reliable, i've thought about going nuts on it loads of times and always end up reading too many horror stories that put me off doing it,

i've just had the perfect chance to do it, my turbo needed replacing so i could of put a hybrid on or a bigger one but i kept it standard and i'll bide my time till next year then its 3.0 tdi Q7 time for me.
 
If it hasn't been done fix the multiple engineering fault oil pump drive .

yea I think your right on that one, Its already had the turbo replaced, flywheel and oil pump before I bought it. I think I'm going to do the same as you and just save myself spending money on it and save towards a different car :)
 
Dont get me wrong mate i love my adui, but for what it is, gets all my gear in and the kids and dog, its class on fuel and it dose shift along nicely if i need to. its just a really nice all round motor,

I really want an evo but dont want the fuel costs that go with it unless petrol drops under a quid and stays there lol

Im exactly the same as you, i love my audi and like you said it does all those things, I would love a 350z but just can't justify the fuel!
