In one of his motoring columns, Quentin Wilson recently recommended that a reader kit his car out with a DPT box. DPT is Diesel Power Tuning for those of us unfamiliar with that particular acronym.
It seems that not only does the magic DPT box improve fuel efficiency, but it also increases BHP and torque. In their own words:
"The DPT tuning box module has been engineered and is manufactured in Europe. They can be programmed to be used on most modern diesel engine vehicles. DPT will give you more power when you need it most, better acceleration if required and better fuel economy. Your DPT installer can advise how to achieve the most for your personal motoring requirements."
You can even check compatibility with your own model of car online. These are the results for my 1.9 GT TDI (150 BHP) Golf:
Standard BHP: 150
Tuned BHP: 180
Standard Torque: 320
Tuned Torque: 370
BHP Increase: 30
Torque Increase: 50
Not bad eh? The DPT will cost me around £300 plus fitting. I can't stretch to it right now, and I need to speak to my insurers - but it's definitely one for the wish list.
