The new VAG engines are all electronically controlled from the ECU, meaning you cant manually wind the boost up.

A chip is the only option smile

Your right, there's not much you can do to a n/a diesel engine the only thing you could do to improve performance is to fit extractors and a better exhaust system.

Fitting extractors and a better exhaust makes a very noticeable improvement, quicker off the spot etc. I know on LR Defenders they have large bore side exit exhausts, but most are turbo'd except the 90's and army n/a diesels

you are in luck with the hdi , you can remap them or plug in a tunning box . this will give you another 30-50 bhp ! !

Oh sorry, err extractors are like steel tubes welded to a header plate that bolts to the
head. A manifold basically! The factory exhaust manifolds are sometimes steel tube, but mostly cast iron, can you get different manifolds for it?

With the exhaust: Increasing the diameter will help it breathe, but don't go over 2" (5cm) as this will INCREASE backpressure due to gasflow stagnation. Aim for 1.75" or 44mm happy Should be enough, I think.

There isnt really much, that you can do to a n/a diesel, without huge modifications, I say improve gas flow and modifications to the breathing: Snorkel is good happy Intercooler?? think

Make it as light as possible tease

On another note, how often do you go offroading?
