Not much can be done with that engine as it is, they were designed with fuel efficiency in mind, not power. You can however get all the bits from a tdi, turbo, manifold, pump, intercooler, change the head gasket and you have a tdi. Or you could just drop a tdi lump in, job done. Just incase you think that it's not worth all the bother, the tdi engines can be tweaked to put out 117+ bhp, with around 269nm of torque, and just for comparison my old Skoda Octavia Vrs has 235nm of torque and does 0-60 in 7 sec's, torque is what gives you that kick in the back. I'm not saying it will be as fast as the Skoda but you get the idea All this can be achieved by making a small adjustment to the injector pump and turbo, about 2 hours work. Seriously!
