There is a company called Racechips that sell a plug in chip. Apparently you can get significant torque increases and it is safe. sells for around $500

Bit of a late post,but i purchased a diesel tuning chip from 'Tuningkit.com'(nearly identical to racechips) in Germany last year-for my 2012 2.0 tdci-got the classic version $170 au plus about $30 freight i think.Connected up easy and played around with the different settings for a few weeks settling on good power/torque /drive ability.Yes it gives big improvements in torque from 1400 rpm-2500 rpm but definitely not the 150kw horsepower claims, that would maybe be with max settings dumping in heaps of fuel at high over spec fuelrail pressures etc-not good for the engine!But for $200 was is worth it-hell yeah lots of wheel spinning torque and a more sporty fun car to drive.
But ended up remapping the ECU so sold it.Re-map gave a smoother power surge and more top end power(2000 rpm -4000 rpm) and mapped out the egr. ECU re-map about $120 from europe online plus bought a KessV2 ECU Programmer about $180 and flashed it myself. local diesel chips or remaps in Melbourne just way too pricey |

I've found this, it looks similar to tuningkit one, but a bit cheaper. |

Tuningkit Technologies GmbH & Co. KG
Website: http://www.tuningkit.com/chiptuning/...ocus/index.php for the ecu remap: http://www.ecufiles.com/ register to see pricing etc.cost me 95 euro sent them my ecu file and took about 5 days to get the remapped ecu back from them instead of 1-2 days as removing the EGR on the delphi 3.5 ecu was a bit more tricky(i had a go trying to remap myself using winols but very hard without the right damos maps) used a kess v2 clone attached to my laptop and OBD2 port to read/write ecu costs about $100 on ebay was very straight forward ,no DTC error for egr or issues at all and a nice safe power boost(but not the fun surge in torque the tuning kit had!) i use forscan app with the iphone and wifi obd2 reader while driving to monitor the boost,rail pressure, etc. in real time too. great app for mazda or fords reads everything. |
