I bought a fabia recently with dark side intercooler and hybrid turbo fairly cheap gets 237hp and 458nm torque and I believe it was mapped by darkside but not too sure cant imagine that came to cheap if he paid got the labour they seem really expensive when you can order parts online and do it yourself or get a friend to help you out

I had a 2002 Seat Ibiza 1.9Tdi Sport (prior to them becoming FRs). Same engine as the Fabia VRS with 130bhp/229lbft as standard, although general opinion was that they had more like 140+bhp from the factory. It went very well and had very tall 6th gear so 80mph was 1900rpm. Handling was a bit podgy but it had high miles and crap tyres.

[@technicalscience]

The thing with diesels is that even the high powered ones are relatively boring to drive. Low revving, not nice sounding... I've had two Seat Leon 1.9 TDI's, one was the toilet-spec 90bhp and one was 200bhp. I now have a 120d Sport. They're good cars, but not as exciting as petrol engines. My weekend / track toy is a 1.6 Eunos and despite being pretty slow, is way more fun bouncing off the limiter at 7k.
