They just feel quick as the gears are short to make the most of the narrow power band on a diesel. Put it this way, Astra Turbo, 190bhp, FWD, 0-60, 7 secs...... Diesel Rover, 100bhp(std), FWD, 0-60 6.2 ......  Ive got a New 2.0 Leguna at the moment, 8.5 to 60. If he beats it Ill show my arse in Woolies window on Saturday At the end of the day, Ive had TD's which Ive played with for about 4 years, and given my advice, fair play if it does actually to 60 in that time.....
What If There Were No Hypothetical Questions?

Induction kit and up the boost, may see 15bhp increase, but an FMIC on a diesel is a high power mod as the charge temps never get that high. He's proberbly not lying stuy, i seen this at mnr b4 now and it is very quick, I was shocked when i seen him race. If it is the one im thinking off, is it blue????

6.2 seconds to 60 sounds well far fetched,im sure its quick but it probably doesnt reach 60 in second,so that means 2 gearchanges to a 1.6 petrol cars 1 gearchange,so ur looking at about 1 second wasted changing the gear twice,i'd have to see proof to believe it.But i do know diesels are quick "in gear" even tho u only get 20-30MPH in each gear u get it really quick

Joined up to the MG-Rover forums and found alot of info about the R25TD's.
done a load of research within the last few days and have decided wot it is i will be doing to the car as im going to keep this for a rather long time.
MAFAM
ITG panel filter
s/s de-cat
chipped
17" alloys and lowered 40mm
Boost gauge (and maybe controller)
MG ZR interior
not small, but not to big FMIC & also double up on an extra fan for the radiator.
Bodykit & respay
(NOS also came into the question??)
with just the MAFAM and ITG panel filter i can turn the boost up by 3-4psi. after chipping it and getting a boost gauge i can run it up to 18-20psi.
