    As above I've recently purchased a Passat b5.5.(with a avb)1.9 tdi.
    I believe the bhp to be 100 or so.
    In an ideal world I would have just went strait for a 130.
    But common sense made me go for this one as its the last of the old shape(55plate)
    Only had 1 owner from new,and has fsh with 129k on the clock so just run in really.
    And is also near mint condition(highline)
    I could have had numerous 130,s but not with the above spec,or history,leather etc.

    Now I would like to get this upto a 130 power output,I would be happy with that if poss
    But need advice on how to do this.i don't want anything dodgy like these cheepo resisters
    To over fuel the car.

    Is a remap the only true way.
    And what about these "boxes" that I've seen at around 150 with 6 settings any good?
    Thanks in advance but this isn't my kind of knowledge but know plenty on here will know
    How to go about it, :thumbup:
