THe Mk5 TDI has a lot of tuning potencial, bigger injectors, intercooler, bigger turbo, etc is all possible and big gains are possible... 300 hp isn't uncommon....

bigger intercooler will actual increase lag as its a larger volume to compress.

remap should clear up some of the lag however

Lag? It's a turbo-diesel with a turbo the size of a potato smiley. Do you know what lag is?
